    I am starting to work on my car and I just found out what is wrong with it..
    I jacked it up and looked at both wheels and turned the steering wheel..
    the wheel sits back in the wheel well towards the passenger side almost to the fender if not touching it.. and the front sway comes in contact with the control arm when turning the steering as far left as it can go. I am wondering the likeliness of frame damage in the area and what parts problably were affected in the crash. It was very low speeds into a curb with the wheels pointed as if to take a left. it looks like the control arm and sway are both bent.. I hope to replace them or attempt bending them back into place. The car is race dropped and is very low. I am guessing 2.25 drop possibly more.
    I will also need to purchase 1 or 2 factory 97 legacy GT rims without tires if anyone has them available for reasonable price. If anyone would be able to drop by and examine my car I will make it worth their while as well. Thanks!

    Don't try to bend them back in place. They will be weak after theat. When they bent initially, they were strain hardened, and if you bend it more, it will become harder, but even more brittle.
