Nasty curb check...

[wrestling160]

Recently, my 4runner took a curb going 50 (long story behind it). Anyways, blew out the tires and cracked both passenger side wheels. Replaced the wheels and tires, and took a test drive around the block. The rear passenger tire has a wobble while driving, and the rim is covered in oil and grease. I suspect that to be the rear axle seal... The steering wheel is offset about 20 degrees, but can't tell what exactly is wrong on the front end... Any insight on what I could've compromised on the front end before a mechanic breaks the bank?

Alignment at the least... you could have bent your tie rod, spindle, etc..

You definitely bent your rear axle.

yeah you have done a lot of unseen damage, if you have bent a rear axle which i suspect you have, you sill shortly destroy the diff and bearings if you continue to drive it -if you havent already. as far as the front goes you could have bent your A-arms or even your frame, at least some tie rods. you could have damaged the steering rack if you hit hard enough. also with that amount of trauma i would suggest replacing both lower ball joints as a precaution. and check your struts to make sure they are not bent or damaged.

This happened to me in my FJ a couple years ago. Spun out on some ice and hit a curb at the wrong angle. Agree with the others about the axle. Mine was bent but thankfully was still under warranty and dealer replaced everything for free (long story). Goodluck!

I live in Dallas.. and I'll put pictures up as soon as I can. I have an appointment with a mobile mechanic on Tuesday, so I'm hoping for the best
