CRASHE! after owning the car a week
i hit a curb with the rear driverside tire. insntantly got a flat. i had to drive the car out of traffic (bout 800 meters) so the tire is gone.
most importamtly the tire sits at an angle. if you look at it from the rear, it sticks out more than the front. also stick out more from the top than the bottom.
theres definitely something wrong, most likely bent.
that seems to be the only visible problem.
i understand it can be alot of things...whats most likely the cause of this?
control arms?
axle?
anything else?
thanks guys. (this is my first accident ever)

Why don't you take a look at the suspension yourself? I mean the car is in your possession, rather than have people here give you what they assume is damaged, go to your car and provide yourself with a definitive answer.

the way he explained it,. more camber at the rear could be making the tire stick out more for all we know. the the OP. I'm gonna say that there is a possibility your car knowledge is limited. have your car taken to a specialist and have them look at it. if it is under warranty or anything, take it to where you bought it.
Also how fast did you drive over this curb?!

1. Learn to drive.
You will most likely need:
1.) New rear wheel hub
2.) New lower control arm
3.) New wheel
4.) New alignment
