I was out teaching myself to drift and made out w/ a curb. I know my tie rods need replacing now(ones broken for sure) but while I was limping the car back to my house, the right wheel was wobbling so I wanted to see if someone can tell me what would cause this before I spend more money that I don't have on parts. I think I may have either warped my rim or screwed up my CV joint? Any suggestions on what else it may be? Thanks.

If you hit your wheel its probably bent, look for other broken arms too. Also check your bearings, jack up the car, grab the wheel and try shaking it, there should be no play.

I was in my campus parking lot at the small hours of the morning.

But....you were still being stupid...

First of all how did you contact the curb, was it just the front? just the rear? or both? You rim is most likely bent and needs to be replaced...

I hit the curb front first. I over corrected coming out of a drift when I went into the curb. Hit right side then left. I'm currently gonna be replacing both tie rods w/ Tein units.
