I'm dealing with a similar issue. Son hit a curb with rear wheel.

Wheel is shot. Forward lateral link bent/ twisted and the ear on the subframe or cross-member where the link bolts on was bent aft, so the bolt head was rubbing on the axle boot clamp. The strut was bowed also.

 

Had a frame shop straighten the cross member and bolted on a new lateral link and trailing arm. and strut.

 

Replaced rim and drove it. I think it must have damaged the bearings. There is a growl and when I turn the spindle by hand I feel a little roughness and a little bump, once each revolution.

 

I just gotta figure how to get that long bolt free from the knuckle that the two lateral links bolt to, so I can replace the hub and knuckle.

 

Any tips?
