Default axel not aligned PLEASE HELP!!!

I'm gonna order springs for my T/A, so this morning I go and check out the rear wheels and fenders to see if I'm going to need to roll the fenders, and I noticed my driver side tire is sticking out some, its right about even with the fender. Now I few months ago I got into a little fender bender, girl hit my passanger sider rear quarter panel, and I noticed my wheel was sticking out some, but I took the to a really good shop and they put the car back together and another shop rebuilt my axel because it was slightly bent. I trust this shop so much that I didn't about giving the ar a in depth check. Now before I go back I was wanting know what is causing this? Panhard bar maybe?

Yes, generally the fix would be an adjustable panhard bar. Most cars are off from the factory if you look closely

it cant be out that bad from the factory. maybe something was overlooked when you had it fixed, and got worse with the driving since then. look under it, see if the PHB or any of the brackets/supports to it are bent or damaged. it sounds like something is wrong or broken, so just throwing an adj. PHB under it wont actually cure the problem.

My car was stock, never in an accident and stuck out from one side. Anybody ever notice how our cars sit a little lower on the passenger side too? Regardless I installed a UMI adjustable Panhard and it took care of it
