Detailed the entire engine bay and did an injector wire tuck. Then there was a snow storm the next day

Pro Tip: Never clean your car in winter! The next day it's guaranteed to be crappy weather!

^This is true. I washed the car today and found out it's gonna rain tomorrow. At least I didn't break out the wax.

Default Bad day!!!

Totally messed up my right-side rear axle from hitting something that came at me from under a simi-truck on the freeway, I had to drive practically in a drift doing 20 mph for about 8 miles

Your car is FWD, there is no rear axle. Looks like your trailing arm or LCA is bent. Inspect it and figure out what is bent.

It could just be the toe adjuster broke

Put the rear up on jack stands. Take that tire off and look around for obviously broken stuff. Take pics for second opinions. Worst case, you can snag the whole trailing arm assembly at a junk yard. Hopefully there's no body damage. When my car got wrecked on that side, the part of the body where the A arm was attached got bent in. To this day, I still have too much toe on that corner and it can't be fixed.
