rear wheel accident help!!!
rear wheel accident help!!!
well i totally forgot about this forum and posted this in the suspension one with little results. i have a problem and since it is the long weekend i havent been able to go to a shop or anything.
basically i took a left turn to fast lost control fishtailed and slid into a curb damaging my right rear wheel. luckily it was late in the night and no one was hurt, besides my ego, but im really scared right now. my whole rim is kinda cracked, my tire is flat, and the "malfunction" light thing came on in my dash.
the first thing i did was come here and start searching, but it was mostly about the front wheel like damage to the control arms, stabilizer, etc.... i was wondering what the worst case scenerio might be and the damage costs to the REAR wheel, what might be damaged, etc... any help will be appreciated im just really scared right now.
*update*
after taking off my rims and replacing them with my winter ones for now there doesnt seem to be any major noticable damage besides some tire rubbing on the muffler, the inside fender wall, and a little on this cable which doesnt look damaged.
but i dont know what to think cause the malfunction light came on and in the manual it could be a number of things. anyways i did the best i can describing it since i dont have a digital camera, i hope someone can give me some information not necissarily how to fix it but info such as if its okay to drive for a while, how bad the damage might be, etc... thanks for looking

The malfunction may be the ABS sensor if you have ABS. Check for the sensor, it's cable, and the cog that generates the ABS pulses. All I can think of if you tweaked the rear tire.
