I down shifted from 5th to 4th and gave it a but ro much gas too fast and lost the rear end. ended up hitting a curb at 50-60mph. destroyed both drivers side rims. That was 2 days ago. I drove it for the first time last night and noticed it was running hot after about 20 min. Im not leaking any fluids at all so i dont know what to look for now. the fan runs. this is my main concern. other than that the car squeaks and groans now and it smells like the rear brake is rubbing. and the fron driver tire sits about 1in from the fender wall closest to the dorr and 2in on the pass side sooo... I know I need to get the tie rod, control arms, A arms and rear axles looked at. but what else should I be looking for? Im not to great working on cars actually so any advice is awesome.

Check caliper mounts, I did kinda the same thing and took out the right front. As for overheating, check fluid levels and make sure the hoses didnt get kinked.

Ill have to check the mount. but all the hoses looked good. everything looks normal to me. thats why I dont understand the overheating.

Could have knocked some stuff loose in the cats and it's now stopping up the exhaust

Maybe all the resistance is causing overheat.

Does it overheat idling in driveway?

Hmmm I havnt ran it but that once so I dont know if it over heats idleing.. I made an appointment at a shop. but there arent many reliable shops in my area. but I have to drive it. its $100 for a 15-20 min tow so ill see what it does.

well all the shop could find wrong was the sub frame bent. but I know thats not all thats wrong.
