Car driving like a crab!

[rich19]

Help required

on the way back from work i have lost control of the car in my street (doing about 10-15 mph) and my rear right wheel has slammed into a curb!

now when driving my steering wheel has to be turned 45 degrees to the right to keep the car straight.

i cant feel a buckle while driving so im shi**ing myself that i have

a) bent the sub frame
b) buggar'd something up resulting in a write off!


any advice or clues to what the issue is mo9re for piece of mind than anything else

Bent a stub axle maybe.

Are the front wheels pointing straight and one back wheel isn't?

yeah front wheel and steering wheel appear to be lined up fine which is whats making me more nervous!

when looking down the rear of the car it appears to be slightly pointing toe in (rear wheel) but dont know if thats placebo effect!

presumings its a pretty big job & cost for axle?

about an hours labour and £60 or so for the part,
