Due to a non observant driver pulling out in front of me. I now have a bent rear right wheel with massive toe on. The B@S*@RD pulled out in front of me at 50kmh, i swerved to try and dodge him and swerved to hard, the rear end came out so i tried to countersteer but it just ripped around side on into a gutter, it didnt help that it had just started to rain, so all the hot weather we have just had parred with a light surface of water on the road, made it bloody slippery i had next to no control
Just wondering what i might have bent? Im thinking just a link in the rear end im hoping. The rim is still straight to the eye.
Other than the rear wheel, everything seems to be OK, im so glad it didnt rip the bodykit
I just bought the frieking car and this bloody happens to me.

Sorry to hear that mate. I would suggest taking it to a suspension specialist and getting a professional opinion. It would be impossible to diagnose over the net. With these things there is usually a lot more than first meets the eye.
The good news: If you get a suspension place to do a full quote(you may have to pay a small fee), you will then have an itemised list of parts you need and can go shopping on here for second hand if you aren't rolling in cash. There are plenty of guys parting out otherwise straight cars due to the plummeting value of Soarers.

on 2nd looks, im pretty sure its just the eccentric agjustments out of wack. I Reckon its sit so hard that its just budged them out of there settings, both the lower arm and toe rod eccentrics are out by about a 1/4 to 1/2 a turn, im gonna set them corresponding to the LHS and then go get it professionally alligned.
GOD i hope thats all thats happened, if so ive dodged a very large bullet, no thanks to the dam wanker driver.
