Ok..

I have a 90 integra gs with GS-R wheels (5 spoke ones off a 95 GS-R) with brand new R-rated tires on the front and almost completely bald Z-rated tires on the back.

I was getting off on this off-ramp and at the end of it theres a relatively hard left turn, taken at 55 you'll squeal the tires, so I usually take it at about 45. Today, like any normal day on this off-ramp that I drive on at least once a day I took it at my normal 45 mph and my rear end started to slip out cuz i guess i hit some gravel too and i did a full out fishtail, did a 180 and my front right tire crashed into the curb and it scraped up my rim at the top. now i have to drive with the wheel to the right for it to go straight and it squeals when i turn even a little and it accelerates slow..

i was thinking alignment and cv joints if not that.. opinions?

asked this in the integra forum but realized the people in the suspension forum because you guys probably know more specifically about the tire area involved in the crash...

Well yeah alignment would be the first thing and you prolly messed up your wheel and tire.

The squealing is prolly coming from now your car can only go in one direction better than the other.

took it to les schwab (local tire place.. not sure if its a chain) and they said its a broken tie rod so they're going to fix it tomorrow at 3pm
