    Anyone with mechanical expertise, what do you think is going on here? A car ran a light and smacked into my rear wheel and it’s way off center. B
    Also did a full 180 and then smacked into the curb. Made my front wheel stick out on the top?

    Any ideas or insight would be appreciated. My dad seems to think that the frame or axle might be bent. I have the insurance inspector coming out today to do the inspection/appraisal and want to make sure they do not cheap out here.

    Back could be a broken center pin on the leaf springs, a bent leaf spring, bent axle, or bent frame. Most likely not the frame but you wouldn’t know until checking where the leaf secures to the axle and see what’s off.

    For the front, probably just need an alignment to get the camber back in spec, although it could be a bent steering knuckle as well.

    It's a secret
    Torn ACL is the best medical comparison I can think of... Vehicle's going to need surgery and PT.
