Hit a curb

[OfnaRcR4]

Last night i hit a curb after hitting a patch of ice. I wasn't going that fast but the back end came out and the rear rassanger side wheel is all messed up( thank god they were my test wheels ). I put the origional wheel back on there and something in the wheel-axel area is bent so now my car crabwalks, back end to the right, front to the left. Everything still turns freely.

My question is, what would give first back there? When i took the wheel off i didn't see anything that looked obviously warped, of course it was nighttime.

EDIT: Pics

bent control arm would be my 1st guess. my bet is that the wheel bearing would also be shot from that sort of impact.

cracked nuckle as well

Here are some pics. Something i want to elaborate on is that i cannot wiggle the wheel at all. It still seems solid, wich makes me worry.

You can see it pretty clearly there, its bent up and toe out

I can not see anything bent in those pictures. Views of the from of the rear suspension would be helpful. Basically, the weakest links in that sort of a collision are the "toe arm" and the "traction arm". They are both round tube lower control arms, one running perpendicular to the car and the other more or less parallel to the car.

View from the front.

Here is what a 2 inch tree did to my fender. Good thing i was going to get that cut out anyway.

Why would you drive the supra in the winter?

Ok, back on topic...

I can't see anything really bent at all in the arms or anything else.

Was your original wheel/tire the same OD as the other "test" wheel/tires Maybe it was just fighting a different sized wheel?

Other then that, inspect the physical upright for damage to any of the tabs that the arms are attached to, or check the subframe for any smashed in spots. It's hard to tell from the pictures but nothing really looks bent.

Put a straight edge on all of the control arms. They all look straight according to the pics... Maybe you have some subframe damage. I just doubt frame damage as it is isolated twice with rubber and is also stronger than the control arms.

So when you rotate the rotor does it wobble at all? Also check your alignment bolts, all of them. They may be hand tight, but there's a massive difference between trying to push on the arm by and versus the weight of a shifting vehicle on them.

I did the same thing to one of my rx7's,
it turned out to be a bent lateral bar

I say goto a junk yard pick up a whole sub frame maybe $60-80

Then do away with that old subframe fast! dont mess with it any more save yourself the grief! Once you wreck a subrame it will eat your tires and cost you in the long run.. Get rid of the old one!

Here is a pic from my old supra i scrapped.
The back wheels looked fine and the car rolled but look closer to the subframe also this is the opposite side from the side that even hit any thing such as a curb or rail this side hit nothing but it did maybe dig into the dirt when the car was slidding sideways.

I was bored of waiting for my knuckle to arrive and i was looking at some pics and i found this

Look at that gap at the top. Could it just be the bolt or whatever in there? I ordered a knuckle and it is on the way but
