So last week my road was getting repaved and one of the idiot dump truck drivers was speeding down the hill while I was leaving for work....long story short he was in the middle of the road as I was coming up on the Apex of the up hill turn, and I had to move out of the way to avoid him at the top. I ended up taking the passenger wheels off road a bit and curbed the crap out of my rims. Luckily other than the major curb rash the car still runs and drives and the tires hold air.
My problem is that upon inspecting the rear passenger wheel, it looks like it's got some extra camber now and might even be turned ever so slightly, I'll try to take a picture that captures what I'm talking about, but is there any adjustment for the rear wheels or did I end up bending the rear axle in that whole process.
If the axle is bent, do the wagons and sedans use the same one? I ask because I have that 05 wagon I'm parting out and stealing the engine from that I can also pull the axle from.
If they are the same is there any way to reinforce it so I don't bend it again or do I just have to be more careful even in those situations? It looks straight on the wagon so at a minimum if I pull it I'm gonna clean it up and maybe throw some por15 on it.
How long do you guys this this job would take/can it be done at home DIY style. I know I'll need a new 4 wheel alignment but I need that anyways because the front was also thrown off a tad.
When it rains it pours thanks for the help in advance.
