As stupid as this may sound, I was driving really fast one day to vent some steam, and thanks to my bald tires, I went around a turn, drifted and lost control at the end and went up a curb going about 40 ish. Now the problem is the right side wheel has been pushed back and touches the back of the wheel well and mud flap. (at least it still runs) What do you guys think was damaged? I need some SERIOUS help on this one, I need to fix it asap so any suggestions?

Its impossible for any of us to tell you definitly what you bent, but theres a good chance you bent your lower control arm, upper arm, maybe your strut, your spindle, all kinds of stuff could be damaged. Heres a link to an exploded view of the rear suspension...

Was it the front or rear wheel that got pushed back?

Front or back?

40mph will do some damage & could even bend structural pieces.

*shakes fingers in disgust* Never ever drive with bald tires. The minute the tires have near-depleted tread, jus get dat junx changed! Even if it's those 4 tires for $100 deals. Better than riding bald.
