Sorry this is not S2000 related but wasn't sure where else to post. Move it if it makes sense.

Was in the Prelude today and was understeering badly in the slush at about 15km/h. Pulled e-brake to try to come around. Had understeered so much that when my rear came around it started coming around into the far curb. Hit the curb, about 5 inches high with my right rear wheel. Big sound. Went to check it out; no visible damage at all.

Anyway, now the steering wheel is 35 degrees to the right when the front wheels are straight. My right rear tire now shows a 3 finger gap instead of 1.5. All other tires seems to be the same height as before.

Wondering what the problem is and how much this might cost me.

Could the rear axle be bent? I know the steering alignment is off but the car doesn't seem to pull in either direction when I take my hands off the steering wheel. The wheel just stays put at 35 degrees right.

Also, when driving home I thought I heard some rumbling noise coming from the back but that could have just been the tires making noise.

Anyway, any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Just checked the car again. The gap seems to have settled a bit by about half a finger.

One other thing I noticed is that the rear right wheel is closer to the fender than the left right rear wheel. In other words it seems as though the entire axle has shifted right. this is strange to me as I would have thought the impact would have shifted the axle the other way if any.

Anyway, appreciate your thoughts.
