Hi there,

You will need to get a panel beater to do a chassis drop test on the frame as i feel that the rear suspension attach points will be over stressed and alignment will be a real issue, these are not strong in the rear end and any substantial damage like what you have described can be a lot more serious than suspension components, remember there are bolted to the body so what ever stresses are involved the body will flex and twist as well.
