bent axle/rotor? please help i lost control in the snow and making a long story short, car did a 180 and right rear hit curb and whole car went over the curb. squeaking when braking, more so when turning left. when the wheel is popped off and i spin the rotor you can see a noticable bend. is there any way to tell if its the rotor or the axle? i dont have a dial to check rotor. is it best to just take the rotor to a shop, or buy a new one and try it out before having to put a new axle in? any opinions help thanks a lot.

Hitting a curb would not bend a rotor unless the rim bent at hit the rotor. Since the rotor is sandwiched between the wheel and axle, it would be the axle.
If your still not sure, switch rear rotors and see if it still happens.
If you have a stock 10 bolt, you should be able to find an axle cheap in the For Sale or wanted section.
Good Luck.
