Dunno what year Civic you have but at the very least you will have bent a rear wishbone. Have a check under the back of the car tomorrow and have a look around. Something will be bent or kinked somewhere.

Start from the point of impact on the wheel and look closely at all the connecting bits to it.

Once you know what it is thats bent a trip to a breakers yard will be next on the cards.

I'd have a complete stab in the dark and say if your wheel is okay and not bent then your looking at around £60+ to fix.

Hope that helps you calm down a bit

Tony

have a look @ the wheel that is bent from under the car and compare it to the other side and you should see if any thing is different eg bent snapped ect

that or go to you local garage and get them to put it up on a ramp and have look and see if they can fixit m8 meen while just get pissed and forget about it untill the morning it normal works for me
