    rearend need help

    So here's the deal. I bought my car 3 weeks ago from a car lot. Before I bought it I noticed a squeeking sound in the rear pasenger side. They said they couldn't find anything wrong with it so I paid my downpayment. (My own eager stupidity since it looked in great shape) a couple days later a buddy riding behind me told me the wheel wobbles so I had it checked out. The rim was bent I seen it with my own eyes at discount tire. Also noticed that the rear end is shifted oward the driver side making the pasenger rear tire rub inside on trhe fender well.

    Yesterday I dropped irt back off at the dealer and they gave me the same run around "it is fine we couldn't find anything wrong with it. Even the tire shop said it is fine". Cough bullshit cough.

    So here is the question. I know I will need a adjustable panhard bar to realign the axle. Since it has been dropped. And I know the rim is bent. But what would cause the squeeking sound. Could it be rhe rim rubbing the caliper or do y'all think the rear bearings might need to be replaced. Also I noticed I have a pretty noticable leak of diff fluid I believe where the driveshaft meets the reareand. I have read the posts and stickys and it says not to atempt to replace that seal. How hard is it really to change.

    It is almost as if someone lost control and hit a curb with that pass rear wheel. I have given y'all all the details and need an overall opinion on what needs to be done. I am not going to fight with these guys and have them come repo out of spite for forcing them to make the repair.

    Thanks in advance

    And the title is clear? I hope you don't get screwed on a salvage title or something.
