I spin and hit a curb now the rear wheels are misaligned. Pass. side wheel is outward and driverside wheel is inward. Looks like the car body moved driverside. Car drives but not skids a lot.

What may be a proble? How much would it cost to get it fixed?

    The damage you describle sounds serious and impossible to estimate with out doing some alignment checks. Bring the car to have the steering alignment checked, on inspection they will check to see if the damage is confined to steering and suspension issues or the chassis is damaged.
