Okay so I've been hit and run, thinking I could fix the problems myself since I didn't have full coverage on the car I bought an axle shaft hoping that it would fix my pivoted wheel and keep it from rubbing on the body. Anyway I got the new axle shaft in the housing and it's still bent. Grrrrr.... any ideas? The 'arrow' show's which direction the housing or mounting or whatever's bent and where the tire's hitting the inside of the quarter panel.

Lower control arm bent maybe...some sorta bracket bent sounds like.

We need to know if the tire/wheel rotate true. If so, like 2000ultra said. If there is wobble while rotating the tire, you will need the housing straightened. Something you likely cannot do at home...

There's no wobble, although the tire's not nearly as free spinning as the other side.

Check the lower control arms, panhard bar AND mount points (seems the mount gets bent easily on impacts), torque arm, etc... basically everything attached to the housing.

Alright so I've also bought a 'new' 98 blue quarter panel to take the one on my car's place.... Mounts look clean, but quarter panel and surrounding parts of the car are bent to ****. I don't know that I will do this myself either but perhaps everything will straighten out.

The quarter is part of the rear chassis structure. I wouldn't recommend trying that DIY.
