so yea

i curbed by 98 legacy gt
slid the front right of the car into the curb around 20mph

i have no car repair experince, but the front right wheel is wedged back agaisnt the wheel well, and the rear right wheel looks messed up too

could it be just the axels? or worse? and how much would repairs cost? and would it even be worth it to fix?

You need to go back and fix your description about what happened. Give more details, maybe take some pictures.. more information is always helpful in diagnosing a problem. It was really hard to figure out what happened to your car from the description, so you should really go back and re-explain what happened and also add pics if you can!

Could be suspension arms, struts, axles, tie rods. If they're actually pushed in, the suspension has taken damage. But yes, pics would be needed for a better idea, and if you are low on experience, it might be best to have it taken in for repairs. Will insurance cover it?

That could do it. Try taking pictures, then jacking that side of the car up, taking the wheels off, and taking pictures again.

I slid into a curb in my old MK2 GTi and it was the lower control arm
