this isnt the tech thread, this section is for suggestions about our site.

now to me it looks like the lower control is bent, and it looks like the car have been hit on that side at one time or another

Yeah that's typically what happens when you spin out and slide into a curb. Then slap a new tire on and sell the car.

Take it to any shop and ask them to check and see if the alignment CAN be repaired on that corner, or if there is body damage.

You may need a new trailing arm or some body repair.

They didn't tell you if there was body damage or rim damage or anything? Just "fix it first"?
