Well I've tore up more cars than I can remember and I'm sure yall have too! You just learned a little lesson to not do things like that. If you fix yourself it will be cheap

If you are driving, you won't hear anything, if it is a back wheel. If you are sure your rim is seating properly, then take off the rim and spin the hub by hand. If your emergency brake still works, apply it lightly and see if it makes a new sound. You might want to do this to your "good side" first to get a feel for what it should feel and sound like. You are looking for a grumbling sound when things are rotated fairly slowly. That would be your bearings (inner and outer) and about the only thing that would cause a "wobble" other than a rim that is not seated. A lot of stuff will put you out of alignment, but not much causes a wobble.
Look around for a missing bushing on any of the parts that connect to your hub assembly to the car. It is a long shot.
If a bushing is missing, then the two parts that were "bushed" can wobble around in the empty hole and create your wheel wobble.
Next, look at all your body mount points for the arms and struts and braces that occupy the rear of the car and connect to your spindle / hub assembly. If nothing is torn out of the floor / body, you have an excellent chance of fixing it by replacing parts. Start putting penetrating oil on everything that moves, and get that big socket set out.

Anyway to fix it go back to the lot, do some more donuts in the snow, but this time do them in the opposite direction so that when you hit the curb it will be with the opposite side and straighten everything back out.

SHOsource.com sells new control Arms. Otherwise, Find a Junkyard and get a good used set of Control arms.

Can I give you a word of Advice? You might not care what other people think about you. However, how you conduct yourself on the Forum is the thing people are going to judge you by. Things like going around the swear word Filter and not using punctuation makes you look obnoxious. Their is a reason that you have a red dot under post count and location.

Ok. First, listen to Tim (toolman). He gave you good advice. Second, make sure that when these repairs are done you or whomever does them looks over the rest of the car CAREFULLY and OBSESSIVELY to make sure that is ALL that you broke.
Third...the phrase YOU BROKE is the important one here. Street racing and donuts in snowy parking lots are not smart things to do and if you have such a connection to your car then things like this are going to make you very sad very often. SHO's break. Beating them up will make them break faster and in worse ways and will eventually make them = a salvaged title. The people on here who have made comments are those who have a lot of years of experience doing stupid things...don't deny it guys...you know it's true. That being said, look beyond just the facepalm comments to the 'been there, done that, realized it was dumb' behind them and remember them the next time a choice like this comes up.

yeah i mean i look back now and realize it was pretty stoopid but you always learn from your mistakes. and whats the red dot mean? it says im infamous around these parts well that can mean many things. and like said ill check everything out when i get it up on the lift at home i parked it at my moms and im going to have to tow it to my place. what kind of time am i lookin at replacing the hub assembly, endlinks, and controll arms and do u think i should upgrade my rear controll arms from stock to the sho source adjustable ones?

Stop throwing shit at the fan and then it will stop hitting the fan.
Based on the proximate cause of the damage, you're clearly not safe repairing the car yourself. Pay a qualified mechanic to repair it.
Oh, and don't try to get around the swear filter again.

What, are you slow?
EVERYONE else has a green dot. Or a few green dots.
Your dot is red.
Get your head out of your ass, and pay attention. If you keep acting like a clown now, the point is going to come where you're going to have a real question and everyone's response to you is going to be ***, because they think you're a clown and not worth the effort to answer your question.

you have no idea how badly I want to report you for bypassing the swear filter.
Are you typing this on a phone or something? If you are on a computer you have a full keyboard in front of you, use it! I think the Soup **** from Seinfeld could write his thoughts in English better than you. Also, for the love of Zeus please proofread. Your posts are seriously painful to read, although they are also kinda funny in a very sad way...

Agreed about the swear filter for the 10th time. And for Racer X's comment about real questions- acting like someone people want respect FROM helps if you want to be GIVEN respect. But...hopefully the point has gotten across and posts will be made more carefully in the future and we can all move on.
Now, I personally would upgrade to the adjustables. If I recall correctly, the stock rear control arms are ok but definitely not the greatest.

They all have green dots because they don't come off as ******** (most of the time). Therein lies the difference.
