Default Hit a curb

I hit a curb trying to drift:/ lesson learned. The car hit on my right rear wheel. I replaced my lower control arm and it still feels like it’s all over the road with absolutely no control. My steering wheel is Misaligned and I don’t know what the problem could be. Any help would be appreciated!

It's gonna be pretty difficult for anyone to diagnose without pictures from under the car. A hard hit could have bent your upper control arm, camber arm, traction arm, spring bucket (which controls toe) or worse case damaged the rear sub-frame. Misaligned steering is generally a toe issue but with the wonky handling it could be several things compounded. I'd suggest taking measurements from the arms on the good side and comparing across to try and see what's still off. After that just ask ebay what he has for replacements (or used if on a budget) and go for an alignment.

Take it for an alignment and they will probably tell you what you need. Pep boys does a really good job imo if you have them over there
