Had a spin out, hit a curb cracked my rim. My tire was sitting on a positive camber. Replaced the rim, a mechanic warned up the axle area and banged the area to straighten out it out. Wrll, now it sits at a slight negative camber. With just the edge on inner part of tire is not touching the road. But, there were two cracks seen on whatever the wheel is mounted to. 2006 Scion Xa

you need to replace everything that was damaged. Spindle, control arms, whatever. A good mechanic would have inspected it and told you what it needs. If the unibody was damaged, then the car is a write off.

I found out what area has those cracks in it. I wish I could show you somehow. But, I do agree I think it's a write off too. I don't have $1600 bucks for this Rear suspension components. If my car wasn't so old I would consider it.
