I tried to avoid being creamed by a truck who was sliding toward me, but in the process I slid sideways up over a curb. My rear wheel hit a storm drain. My steering wheel is cocked to the right instead of being strait now noon is now at about 2 o'clock on my wheel.
When driving the car over any surface that isn't perfectly smooth, the rear end starts breaking loose and fishtailing like a RWD truck on ice. It is tough to keep the car driving without fishtailing and it has been very sketchy to drive today. The wheels look fine. They seem straight. I can't see anything obvious broken or bent underneath and Car-X said that everything looked fine underneath. Other than obviously needing a new alignment, does anyone have any ideas what I could have damaged? I was thinking that maybe I blew out a strut? My usual mechanic told me over the phone that I may have broken or damaged the rear arms.
