Hey, I need to get some expert opinions on the odds that my frame had been bent.

I was going straight at about 55, in the rain, and all off a sudden I caught a puddle, and well, spun about 3 times. Then as I was spinning, I smacked the median, and went up on it, then back down off it. Stalled the car. Then after I got situated, I started the car, and took off, but the steering wheel is off, and the faster I went the car kind of wobbled a bit. I am hoping it is just an alignment being needed, but i'm told it could be a bent frame.

 

I'd seriously doubt you bent the frame, but chances are you damaged some suspension parts. I wouldn't drive on it were I you.

 

check your control arms to see if they are bent or broken. If you macked a curb, 80% of the time the arms will break. I macked a curb going 20mph, spun 2 times and broke the control arms in my right rear suspension. Total cost was +3k. These are made to break taking most of the shock from impact to save our frames.

 

I don't think a simple alignment will do the trick here.

 

no, there will definitely be some bent suspension parts, plus i'm sure you have damage to the body panels and rims.

 

I drove it last night back from the shop where I was having some lights installed, and the steering was loose, and it turned right easier than left. It also felt like the car was a little shaky at speeds above 40. But no screeches or weird sounds. But when I pulled in the garage, it had a weird smell, almost like burnt brakes.

I was less than a 1/4 mile from the place with the lights.
