Today I learned the cornering limit of my car in an unfortunate way. I went around a corner way too fast and lost control of the car. The car slid sideways on the road for about 25 feet, and then another ~50 feet on the dirt. Slammed into a sign on the driver side door and finally stopped with the car on a steep bank and the rear of the car only a few inches from a 5 foot vertical drop off into a stream. There was grass, leaves, and dirt all over the inside of the car and some stuff jammed in between the rims and the tires. Once we got the car towed off the bank and back too my house, I attempted to start it and it started fine and ran good for the most part. However, there is a wobble that I can feel when going in a straight line that wasn't there before.

Any idea what could be causing this? Alignment off? Something bent? Or worse?

 

Obviously something bent. Jack the rear off the ground and spin the wheels to look for a bent axle. Alignment shop would be a good next step to look for other damage,
