Exclamation Hit a curb…possible damage?!?!

So I am making a right turn at about 10mph and didn’t see an 8 inch piece of curb and hit it with my right side skirt and rear wheel. I pull over right away and see that the rear wheel is not lining up with the car. Its now about half inch inward towards the middle of the car and half inch outwards toward the back. As I start driving very slowly back home, the car is pulling slightly to the right if i let go off the wheel and to correct I need to turn the steering wheel to about the 11 o’clock position…

What do you think is wrong: major alignment problem or suspension damage?
Should I go try to get an alignment at the tire shop or go straight to the dealer to get it fixed?
I live in Sheepshead Bay, can anybody recommend a shop nearby?
Also anybody on the forum here is able to fix this?

Something is definitely going to be bent, I'm sure Matt can help you out once he takes a look at it.

Call me if you need assistance; sounds like it could be more than just bolt on parts.
