Default drifting.... then boom. alignment problem

decided to drift a bit and hit a tree stump just off the side of the road my driver rear toe is pointed in. help me identify what part it is that is damaged i dont think it is the control arm for the toe but i bent the hub that holds the rotor and the axle. i need to know what part it is so i can replace it.

edit: did some more research it is the housing where the axle goes through and all of the control arms connect to behind the rotor. on sewell shows $400 for the part but that cannot be possible. where could i find that part from?

you can see the metal is bent. but when i looked at the mount it seemed fine.




this is the control arm that it is. it connects to the bottom of the chassis.

You ruined the carrier sub assembly. Yes it cost around $400 to $500 for a replacement and more for labor. I guess you got to pay for your mistakes. Good luck.

Use car-part.com and buy the part used. No need to pay 400 im sure you can find it for 60-100 bucks

drift the opposite way and hopefully it will auto-correct itself. Seen it done in F&F plus i've been to Tokyo like 4 times. but in all seriousness how does this beast handle..seems like its too heavy to whip its big butt around.

yea bald tires.... my new tires just came in today but i wont be putting them on until i get the issue fixed. im probably going to a salvage place and see if i could get it used for like 100.... hopefully. the tires didnt even grip for a split second, the amount of tread left was misleading.
