what is causing this?
my car has been driving weird like it moves and sways when i hit a bump and while i was standing in front of it today, i noticed the front passenger side wheel seems sucked in at the bottom, also the car seems to sit lower on that side, i had a wheel alignment done in dec and the mechanic didnt say anything. when i bought the car in aug it had been hit in the front passenger side (if tht helps)
anyway could it be bushings or the control arm? or what is it?

ill jack it up tonight to see if i can find something
if i dnt see something ill take sum pics of underneath if i missed something obvious or something is just wrong
as far as sitting low i think its just a bad strut/shock/spring which i am replacing all with supra tt suspension

majority of the time on the SC the wandering symptoms mean your steering rack bushings are shot, which lets the steering wheel wander when you hit the slightest of bumps. will also vibrate a little anytime you go over like 60mph.
that would not explain the lowness or why your wheel looks so bent inward. either your shock is totally shot or you have damaged major suspension components (control arms, toe arm, sway bar/end links). you could have very possibly bent any of these from a crash.
control arm bushings alone usually is not noticeable like that visually with the car on the ground, to test you have to lift the car and pry the arm with a bar in various directions, if there is alot of flex or play in the bushings that means they are shot.

i think my shocks are **** and messed up, hopefully thats what it is cuz next week im upgrading to supra TT suspension, i looked under today for anything bent or moved and it all seemed ok to me, maybe changing my suspension will fix it and an alignment, lets see what happens ill keep updating
