Spun off wet road around a left turn and went over a curb in a wild slide. STUPID!!! Damage to rear suspension is obvious, but I haven't gotten a look yet. Left rear wheel took the hit and has noticable negative camber, and may even toe in a bit. Wheel is shot. What should I look for? Bent or broken what? What a bummer!!!

Damaged cross members. Rim for sure, and perhaps the half shaft. That really sucks, had a friend spin into a Jersey barrior and he had to re-do front and back hubs. Basically you need another rear end assembly.

GOOD GRIEF !!! You can't be serious - a whole rear assembly? Can't I just have a bent rod somewhere or something a little simpler than replacing everything? I wasn't going very fast when I exited the road, up over a small curb and into the grass. How the hell could that have bent the crossmembers? Are they that flimsy? How can I even tell just what is bent, and what is not? Could something have just broken? I can still drive it, just can tell it affected the alignment , plus the obvious camber problem.

take both back wheels off and look at both sides the parts that are different are bad ,don't make it harder than it needs to be

Yeah your right.. I wonder if a slight mis-alignment could be a problem at 100+, pro'bley not huh.
