Im sure they'll be plenty more of these..but heres what happened, hit a curb, and now my rim is pushed back, im assuming I bent a lower control arm and possibly a tie rod, anyone have any experience with this type of situation, btw it was on my 1987 corolla gts:thumbsdow

yeah usally all that gets bent is the lower controll arm and the alignment get all out of whack, your rims toast, i tried having one of mine straightened and the fools ended up breaking my rim, your wheel bearing and all that other jazz should be okay but it wouldnt hurt to check them any way the tie rod can be dent back or it just might be misalinged, when i did this in my civic it costed me about 200 bucks for the lower controll arm and labour and alignement, i would have done it my self but it was winter and i didnt have a garage at the time
