Default What is bent (See inside for pics)

I took the wheel off and looked and the rotor / hub is not straight but I looked at the arm on the bottom and that is bent too should I just replace the right side control arms and the whole works? I know its hard to guess by pictures but any suggestions would be great.

LOL.... that doesn't look good. Probably your traction or toe rod or even your ruca. The only way we can tell you is if you jack the car up, take the wheel off, and take pictures of your links...

I'll have the car up on a hoist most likely Monday or Tuesday if my buddy isn't busy and I'll take pictures.

For those who were wondering yes it was from drifting, as I was straightening out there was dust / dirt hit that and just slid and this is the result.

This is also why I practice in the industrial park with huge wide open lanes and not on public roads there's no one around after hours so you can't injure a pedestrian if we had a track here I would be there instead. Never drift on open roads...
