Default Wrecked 07 V6

This car hit a ditch, right front first then the rear wheel hit and busted the right wheels rim edge off after looking at it the right wheel is back 1" I am thinking the axle tube twisted in the diff housing . Look at the where the bump stopps hit, they never wore in the center of the V they wore at the back of the V mount .Here are some pics what do you guy's think about why the rear is 1" to the rear on the pass side.
these 3 are of the right whel



this is the left wheel stop

The right axle is bent but not so sure about the housing the oil makes me wonder. I wonder if they bend or break easy?

Ah, so that's why there's oil all around! Looks like the rear did get bent and the pan seal broke loose during the bending, hence all your fluid; or the axle tubes are cracked.

That's what the 7.5 stock internal differential will do to you. Let me guess...making a left turn on a wet or slippery street and just "lost it".

I know of SO MANY v6 owners who've have that happen, some wrecked, some didn't (but still lost control).
