i am new to these forums and was wondering if you guys could help me out. i dont have a huge wealth of car knowledge so bear with me here. today, as i was backing up my car, i backed over a 8-10 inch high concrete pole. i totally did not notice it. i was probably going about 5 mph. what happened as a result is that the tail side of my right rear "wheel" was bent inside and the nose end went the opposite way to the outside. i looked underneath my car to see what i broke, and it looks just like one part was broken. its this metal rod that goes from maybe the frame to the wheel/rotor area. this must be the piece that anchors the suspension to the wheel. its hard to describe, but it is the first metal piece looking from the rear to go to the wheel area. anyone know what part this is or how much it might cost? any help is appreciated. im freaking out here. if you have questions, just ask and i may be able to answer them. thanks again.
