Default Attacked by a curb, bent axle?

Hey everyone, we had a cold day in south florida and making a turn that I have made hundreds of times I spun, and swerved and slid my z28 into the curb.The front wheel just has some rash, but the back wheel is broken.Bought a used one from the salvage yard, just waiting for it to come in.

I drove the car home(slowly, though i went up to 50mph at one point) 10 miles and felt no vibration,no wobbling car didn't even pull in any directions only a slight squeaking from the rear passenger brakes when applied.I put the good front wheel on the back and let it run in 4th and it wobbles. I'm pretty sure the axle is bent but could I have bent the housing as well? Is the only way to check the housing a 4 wheel alignment? Video shows wobbling.

Doubtful that you bent the axle housing.
