When I got my 97 boxster, I noticed it pulled to the right and took it in for an alignment. The shop said they simply could not get it into alignment and said I needed a body shop to look at it. Evidently, a previous owner did something similar to what you did to your car. The left rear strut was bent (I replaced both rear struts), and the front sub frame had to be tweaked on a rack to get the car into proper alignment.

It cost me about $750. $500 for the struts and labor to install them, and $250 for the subframe pull and laser four wheel alignment.

The laser four wheel alignment and the sharp eye of the body shop owner nailed the problem. So an alignment through a body shop will tell you if there's any damage and where to addres the problem.

Sorry to hear about the spin out. I've pushed my car through a Uturn many times, but the back end hasn't broken out more than a foot or so, and I don't drive the car in cold or wet weather... my Kumhos are just not sticky enough for it.
