Default I need some help!

So basically due to my right rear tire being completely bald i spun into a ditch when i hit some sitting water coming down an offramp yesterday...

im ok,the body is ok but something is wrong with the supsnesion now i think

whats happening now is when i accelerate in any gear the car seems to lift up and to the left and i have to steer to keep it straight.the second i let off the gas the car plants itself perfectly straight


i got the car up today to take a look and everything seems to look ok,besides being really dirty.

And check your tire pressure. And get new tires while you're at it. Preventive maintenance and general upkeep is often cheaper than repairing the things that you damage when you don't keep up with the maintenance.

I agree with the above posters and add this:

Dont blame your wreck on your tires. The tires werent driving the car, you were. Im sure they were bald, but you knew they were bald (or should have known) so you should have either a) replaced them or b) driven slower in order to adjust for the lack of grip.
