A while back I slid into a curbo on the ice. I only hit the right rear (pass. side) wheel on the curb. It was bent, but still held air. I have since bought some new wheels and tires and am starting to drive it again. My problem is that the car pulls to the right and the rear end is really squirly past 50mph. Also I noticed that the botom of my shock is hiting my exhaust now and it wasnt before, so it makes me think something is bent. What part is most likely to be bent? The lower control arm was my first guess. I looked under the car though and everything seemed to be in good order. What do you guys think I broke? Or do I just need to have it aligned?
Thanks,
Chris

Guessing will get you noplace! Take it to get an alignment. If you're lucky, you just pulled the rear control arm out of adjustment. It has a pretty wide range of adjustment so it may be possible that it could have messed up a few things. A side impact on a rear wheel could also possibly bend the trailing link. But that would be obvious when looking at it.

Ok, here is whats broken. The lower control arm is pushed over and the bar right above it (sway bar I think) is cracked. The mechanic said that the big cylinder piece (dont know what its called) that hooks onto the control arm might be twisted. Does anyone have these parts off a parts car that I could buy? Also, anything else sound like it may need to be replaced?
