Default WRX RA,with bent rear hub ?, help needed.

I have just got a 1993 WRX RA. It has damage to the drivers side rear wheel/suspension. I was told it hit a kerb sliding sidewards. The wheel is tucked in at the bottom, but still looks in line. I have swaped the struck and the arm of the chassis. The 2 arms look straight that go from the hub to the diff frame. I thought I had fixed it only to put the wheel on and it was the same. DO the hubs bend, as they look quite solid and strong,
Has anyone fixed this sought of damage and know what I should check or change next.
Thanks, Alistair

While playing in the snow, bent the hub on my rear Drivers on my newage....wasn't as bad as what you describe..for me the bill was £275 all in for new hub and labour etc.

Lesson learnt.....
