If is not the hub I would think it's the subframe that's bent (from experience).

If it is the subframe (or toe arm) you may get away with using aftermarket toe arms to get back within tolerance. I did this for about two years before replacing the rear subframe.

Thats a good sign buddy, did you do the finger test as well ? front and back ? if thats all good then it will be very minimal damage,


Also when your getting car alinement done ask him to measure wheel base and measure diagonals corner to corner.
