Not to long ago I had a small accident on my Dodge Neon. I was going about 50 miles per hour on the road and fell asleep. I know it was stupid of me to do that. I woke up when I hit the side on the opposite side of the road. I was actually thrown up onto the sidewalk. I hurry veered back into my lane. When I got home I looked around for the damage. I had brutally hit the hub caps. One of the 5 bolts were missing that were to hold the wheel. On the side of the tire, I ripped some rubber off. Also when I was driving the wheel was wobble back and forth pretty fast, and a clicking sound was going on. Does anyone know what's wrong with it, and how I can fix it if it's fixable. Please, anyone, I really need the answer desperately.!!!!

From your description, you need to take it to a front end shop and have the alignment checked.
I'll guarantee it's out.
You also might (probably) bent sometime on the suspension/steering (like bent a tie rod, etc).
The stud for the lug nut (the broken off BOLT, as you called it) can be replaced.
Get a new tire. With a chunk out of it, you'll never get it to balance.
Everything you describe can be fixed, for a price. You need to get it to a shop and have them look at it, and get an estimate.

Well i first would replace the tire and rim may have bent the rim and the tire has side wall damage may have broken a steal belt in the tire and then i would take it to a shop and have em do the whole front end check.

its probably knocked the front end out on it,and also damaged a CV joint also in it,you,ll need to take it to a front end shop though to have it checked out real good,they can better tell you how much damage is actually done to it,its probably bent a rim also on it,but i wouldn't try driving it none until i could get it checked out real good,this could do more damage to it by driving it,good luck with it,hope this helps.

I'd say you've bent the wheel and possibly the control arm and or strut. Take it to an alignment shop and let them look it over.

You either bent your whell or broke your frond axel. Clicking sounds usually mean axel. Pull the old tire and rim off and replace with new, and see if it still makes the same sound.
