Your right lower control arm looks bent. If you get an alignment it will tell you most of your problems. I used to mess around with my car like that, but honestly our sport luxury suspension isn't made for it.

Well... lesson learned I guess.. but you're probably going to need some suspension parts.. if that's the case... go aftermarket. Sorry to hear about what happened, but this car really isn't meant for donuts unless its snowy

I bet this is you right now

+1, this is a relatively cheap lesson. I hope it sticks with you.

We all do stupid things. Sometimes they just come back to bite us hard. My guess is there are some bent suspension components. This stuff happens all the time and shops can fix this pretty easily. The wheel can be refinished, assuming the wheel isn't majorly damaged.

i just got back from the tire shop and my rim wasn't bent..just scratched up pretty bad. i needed a new left back tire anyway so i bought two new tires and the cars drives smooth. I did 80mph on the freeway and it was straight and my steering wheel had no vibration. my passenger seats has been vibrating like crazy though.. i took it to the dealer yesterday for that and i was told i my left back tire needed to be replaced, well i just did that and the seat is still vibrating..my seat doesn't vibrate but the passenger one does...

So i guess i got really lucky. i will still have another shop look at lower right control arm though.

and just to clarify a little.. i wasn't exacting trying to do donuts.. i was trying to fishtale out of a U turn but kept on sliding till i went over a mini curb..i believe if i had hit an actual curb it would have been an entirely different story
