A few days ago my SHO fishtailed while going through some water on a nice little california canyon road.. it all happened pretty fast.. who needs a story? the front of the car went off the road (mountain side, not 300+" drop side..) luckily the rocks were too jagged, it FELT like I hit the front VERY VERY VERY hard, as I walked around to look after I'd stopped the car I thought I was going to need a new bumper/fender/hood, etc.. but when I got there it just looked like some mud had splashed onto the bumper, and the side of the car. The front wheel/tire was alright so I almost fell over I was so happy nothing broke. Then another person noticed (I was traveling with a gen3 SHO and a Sable) that the rear tire was what got most of the damage.. seems it hit a rock so the lip was destroyed and the tire was missing some chunks. Right now I'm on a borrowed slicer and the rear seemed alright, I didn't notice bent control arms..

Here is the problem. The car drives sideways now. The rear is 6-9 inches to the right. So there is something bent/brocken back there. But what I REALLY want to know.. what did I do to the front? I took off the tire today to survey the damage, as I've been hearing a click over even small bumps. I find that the strut is not angled forward as much as the driver's side.. I'm guessing that's what caused this..

Any ideas? what's bent/brocken on the rear? on the front? Anyone have a RH slicer or canadian slicer they don't need? Any help?
