How to Shift Rear Axle Left/Right?

Ok guys, as some of you may know, I am having some bad issues with my left rear tire/fender. Whenever I have any weight in the vehicle other than me and my significant other and I go over any sort of "medium" to "large" bump, my left rear tire will scrub the fender. It is eating away at my tire. Now, I know that this car has been in an accident before in the rear since I do find glass to this day in the trunk area. I do not want to mess with the fender or flare it out because that would look funny and I have been told before to maybe look into trying to shift the axle itself to the right so that it will even it out. Now, how in the world do I do this? It is a major thing and I need new tires because of it and my current tires have no tread. I do not want to do this to a new set of tires either. Thanks my lil' peeps....

You can't shift the rear because of the way it's mounted however if your car was involved in an accident the rear's trailing arm links may have shifted or bent. You may want to have a bodyshop check it out for you.

Have a body shop put your car on a frame machine. They will measure out your car and find the misalignment. Then they can "PULL" your car straight again. As long as it's only uncarraige work, the cost will be minimal. No paint should be needed.

A frame machine can measure down to the mm and operated correctly will put your car back to factory specs.
