I hit a curb then a mailbox then a bush doing about 60-70 :thumbdown [ messed up the rim threw the donut on drove down the road donut blew put a tire i got from a buddy] every since my car pulls to the right real bad what could be the problem i notice a 4 inch bolt bent a little on the right side anyone got any ideas?
:talon:
 
Well if your lucky you bent your controll arms and quite possibly steering linkage. your hub might not be real healthy and your axle could have maybe possibly gotten munched a little bit.
Now the bad news. If your not lucky you could have very likely bent the chassis where your controll arms mount up and who knows what else.
Since you don't appear to have a lot of mechanical knowhow you will probably need to leave this to the pros. It wouldn't be extremely hard to swap out those parts but you could do all that and find out you still need to get your chassis straightened out.
I would find a good front end shop and see what they say.

You could also check to see if it's something as simple as an alignment problem.

Well it is an alignment problem but you get serious alignment problems from stuff getting bent. You could take it into an alignment shop and see what they say but I am pretty confidant you didn't make it over a curb and through a mail box without doing some damage your going to have to fix before it will be right.

Your probably right. I never realized he was doing 60-70 when he went over the curb(holy crap.)
