Long story short,
A couple weeks ago some guy crossed the center and it forced me into the curb. This bent the shit out of my rear passenger side rim. I replaced the rim and the car still slid around like before. I took it to a Midas so I could get under it and see what was up.
It turns out that my rear torsion axle is bent causing the car to do what feels like really bad over steer in a rwd.
So here are my questions... You can visually see that the wheel and tire are toeing in, I am assuming this has to be whats going on with the weird handleing. I was told that the rear tires didnt have any alignment on them as far as camber so getting it aligned won't help anything, True? Im new to FWD cars so I dont know about the alighnment.
since the tire is toeing out does anyone thing that maybe a camber kit would be able to push it back to it old normal slef.
and lastly...
It doesn't look like it would be hard to replace the rear end. Anyone have any clue as to where I might be able to look online for the parts if I have to do this? I tried mitsugraveyard and they didn't have anything.
Any help would be great. I miss driving it very much.
Thanks,
Mat
