So I was playing around in the rain as I always do, and lost control sideways into a high curb. I smashed into hard but I wasnt really going that fast (30mph Id guess). I replaced the rim, and ya it seems off. The side I hit on (only on the back wheel) is about half an inch deeper compared to the other side. This car needed an alignment bad beforehand, but I also got pulled over by a cop who said it looked like my *** end was to the side of my front. Do you think my car is ruined, or is it just a bunch of bent suspension? If so what parts do you think? From what I read in old posts, it could be the lateral links? I appreciate any help, thanks.

There is no way anyone can diagnose this for you.

jack up the car and look and see if anything looks bent.

get an alignment and see if they can get it in spec, and if they can't ask them why.

1/2" isn't actually that bad, it's probably mostly an alignment issues, but it's very possible something is bent, lateral link or control arm...

I'd take it to a collision shop.
An alignment shop won't fix anything since they just adjust anything that will make the car wheels crooked.
Your problem lies with the Frame not the alignment aspect of the car.

(*been there..my whole front end was off an inch when I got the car..bad previous owner.)

just in case anyone comes across this in the future, it was the lateral link on that side. It was very bent. New lateral link and the car drives like new, and the wheels are equally positioned.
