Went offroad PLEASE help

Back about 6 months ago (when I had potenzas) I wasn't paying attention and hit a patch of dirt with my right tire and went into a ditch.

The damage was a few misaligned body panels which indicated a bent frame. I had a guy bend my frame back for the most part and had the car aligned 3 times. Also had him repaint a bumper. Cost $600 for the frame.

The alignment is still off a little bit while the body panels (for the most part) ar lined up again. The only thing that I know for sure is the rear axel is slightly bent. I really want the cars alignment to be straight again I need advice on how to do this. It is bugging the **** out of me. I am scared that if I buy a new rear axel it may still be off and that is why I haven't done so yet.

I live in Columbus, GA, so if somebody knows a good shop please tell me. I am scared a shop will take advantage of me and start replacing things not knowing if it will fix the problem.

PLEASE HELP

I am sorry to hear that, i am not sure how you go about fixing that? i would sugest you walk in to a nissan dealership and ask them why the car does not go straight and avoid telling them you went offroad. tell them you purchased it like that ??

Good luck

Good try but they are still going to charge me full price to look at it and they will still take the opportunity to charge me an arm and a leg. Also if you have ever gone offroad you know exactly what the underside of a car looks like after it does. It is completely obvious.
