Ok fellas, short story driving in the rain, rear tires balled(i know stupid me) swerved and passenger side rear tire hit a curb around 15. Wheel is not bent but the piece too the far right. What is that called exactly. Trying to replace that and fix my problem.

That is your steering knuckle.

normally they are sold at the dismantler with the hub and bearing included. No more than $75...

You can get one from specialized parts planet subaru in rancho cordova, CA and they will sell it with a 3 year parts AND labor warranty. Meaning if your bearing goes out in the next 3 years, they send you another one and pay the shop of your choice $65 per hour to swap. Great guys too!

Thanks, i would have considered planet subaru but they're to far away from where i stay in Los Angeles. $75, i thought it would be way more

your wheel may not look bent, but it may be bent laterally gauging from the force of the impact breaking a piece of cast iron...best to take it to a tire shop and have them check the runout of the lip just to be sure. I found out the cause of a pretty bad vibration from a used wheel set this way.

roughen83, will do i dont want anything happening to my baby anymore, beat her way too much. I havent treated her well in so long. Coilovers/endlinks/F&R SW coming in, just have to replace my front to axels and and change the boot to my rack and pinion. So much to do with her.
