My daughter recently wrecked her car in snow and ice storm. damage to left front and left rear. Car had good alignment after repaired body work cars pulls hard to right. After further investigation. Upper Control arm is twisted. My question is. " Is it possible to twist the upper control arm on opposite side of impact of car in a spinout and resulting wreck into a guard rail.
Thanks

During the spinout, the other side could have been subjected to impact transmitted via the tires though no visual danage is noticeable on other parts of the body. I would say it is possible.
