i went over the curb because the wheel went over if you haven't noticed the angle the car is at.
i honestly think the axle is fine

it looks like you totally hopped that curb. I'd get that side checked just in case.

You guys are not the only one, same here on xmas day, took a turn at 10-15 mph in the light rain, car fishtail, slammed into the curb, damaged right rear suspension, everything broke, but the axle was fine....weird. saddest part my bbs lm bent for a lil bit....fixable hopefully...crossing finger due to aftermarket wheel insurance said they wont cover it....soo be careful outhere when it's rainning season. Take the turn like grandma style.

my 3 other tires (both front and left rear) were fine. no damages.
the right rear on the other hand, was totally destroyed.
from what i saw, a huge piece, maybe 8 inches of the rim was missing and the tire was just flat from the impact.
im lucky that the tire took most of the damage, but im still waiting for the estimate.

if it's just the rim/tire + arms/knuckles + suspension, then it should be up and running by the end of this week
