bend rear axel?

[boyricer]

Slippery conditions today, rear end of my 96Ek hatch slid out and hit the gutter. At first glance the rear wheel is now tucking under the car inward from the bottom, bad enough to throw the alignment out but still drivable.
Any suggestions what damage to look for? As I'm now going to have to get this fixed ASAP.

check rear subframe to see if its bent, trailing arm usually takes most of the force but really could be anything. first i would go and see if just an allignment will fix it if it isnt crazy bent

[boyricer]

It's bent pretty bad that I doubt an alignment won't be the simple fix but I won't exclude it. I'll let see if I can post a photo.

Here is a shot of the angle its bent at. Hope that helps.

Either upper arm , lower control arm or part of the trailing arm.
Get it checked out , damaged part replaced then realigned

im going to show my ignorance with this next question.
Q. Why would this throw the steering wheel out ie. not straight and lined up anymore, how or why?

I'm assuming if the front end didn't hit that it is steering fine but the direction of the wheel is making the rear want to go a different way to the front and so the rear is fighting the front

Likely upper arm (camber arm) or the lca

Any suggestions who i can take this too and get it done professionally if it gets to tricky for me to do and asses the damage. Im in Sydney in the Liverpool area.
