Fishtailed into a curb. Need help
Sunday I was driving my car and my back tires lost grip around a corner (dang bridgestones) anyways ended up fishtailing my car and slamed into the curb on the right side. My back right wheel has some pos camber and some toe out. I got it checked out at an alignment shop and at a honda. Alignment shop said somethins bent slightly but nobody knows exactly what. Honda didnt even notice until I told them. So what do you guys think? My ride height didnt really change just my camber and toe is off. I think it might be the knuckle.
Bent upper or lower control arm, bent shock would be the first 2 things I would check. Then get yourself to an autocross so you can learn to catch a slide (not that I would try and break the rears loose on a public road).

Update: Theres a squeaking sound when I drive, its repetition increases as i increase speed and stays constant when i am cruising. A different squeak happens when I brake. A more louder longer squeak

Gotta be something wrong with a control arm. My dad hit a curb last winter in his Benz and shattered the back passenger wheel. Wheel was replaced, but everything else looked good. That was until the shop tried doing an alignment. One of the control arms was bent just enough to keep the alignment out of spec. To the naked eye, it looked fine.
Glad you're okay and the car too. Hope you find a good alignment shop to fix everything. But I was in the same situation like you couple of days ago. I was going 25mph in a 45mph zone and my car fish tail first and then spun out doing a complete 360. I managed to drive away with no accident at all. Thank God.
