UPDATE:

so i got under the car finally today after work (like 15 mins ago)

and at first glance the panhard bar is definatly bent...it's not straight and has a big U bend in it...you can tell its bent because in the middle the paint started to flake on the bar

from what I could see everything else looked fine, but I will be heading over to steeda to grab the adjustable bar since I know I have to replace it anyways...

also I will be taking it to a shop tomorrow to make sure everything else is fine

Hope its just the panhard bar. That's the most likely.

Interesting, when i had this, i had to get right part of rear axle replaced since it got bent. Rims and wheels are so far intact. The service told me i might have to replace the rear axle housing as well(they say its 90% there)

Before I would go out and buy parts or take it to a shop, I would put the car on a lift, get a bright flashlight and check for damage. I'd want to see it for myself.

Its definitely just the panhard bar. I had a major wreck in my 05 and the axle was shifted just as much as the OP's. Only thing damaged was the panhard bar.

Took it over to Steeda today,

They installed a take-off panhard bar they had sitting around and she's good as new

total bill was $150

now the search begins for a new rim, but for now its not that bad anyways so I can live with it
