Help!!!! 56k warning
well i had a mishap last night i ran smack sideways into a curb and cracked my LR rims lip off and looks like i bent some stuff, and i don't wanna drive on it until i know for sure. Any and all input is much appreciated.
here she sits right now, just went out and get 2 new/used tires for $48 heh, so i don't have to worry about the cracked rim for a little bit
in this picture see how the boot that is connected to the back of the brake assembly is angled, it's angled a little out, (im guessing this is my rear axle piece?)
little better view of the angle
again thankyou for all your help guys, im about to go take the rear brake assembly apart and see what i can see.

hey buddy join the club, I did the same thing a while back, in the last pic u posted u see the 2 bars that crisscross at the bottom left of the pic, there called the lower _____ arms, the one u see in the lower right kinda is definitely bent 4 sure, and the other 2 if they are touching which it kinda looks like they are there bent too. On my car those were both bent also, my teins mounting braket was bent, oh yea and my bearings were shot so I just bought a complete hub assembly. Now in my case I lucked out bc I have friends in the junk yard business and I only paid 200 for all these parts. If u have any specific questions pm me and ill try to help u out.

Something i noticed, when i was peaking around under the car today trying to get a start on things. This is the Rear Drivers side.
And this is the Rear Passengers side... no bend at all
could i get some1 else's input?

Rear sway bar link has to be replaced on the driver side.
I keep snapping mine
They are $30 bucks each online. The dealers was over twice that.
You will have to call to secure one, b/c they are not easy to find.
You have larger issues though, like that lower control arm.

Your wheel bearing is going to be toast also, if not right away, then soon anyways.
I would consult a junk yard with a complete list since you might get a slightly better deal on a bunch of parts as opposed to calling every few days with a new request.
The whole hub replacement may be easier/cheaper than having the new bearing pressed in.
