My back driver's side tire is tilting inwards toward the trunk. I was in a collision, so that's why, but I was wondering what needs to be repaired/replaced. I was reading around and some say it may be a bent rear axle or just the hub. Regardless, any ideas on the parts/price for repair?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

Thank you for the donation.

With this sort of collision damage you will need to have all relevant components inspected for damage, it is important to realize that they smallest amount of bend can cause serious tyre wear is a very short time,
so you will have to get all the following components check carefully, strut assembly, control arms, wheel hub, and the trailing arm, see pic for a view of these parts.
