Diff Problem

my td wagons diff has been pushed to one side by a previous owner fucking up in the wet and sliding off the road into an enbankment. It doesn't pull off to one side while driving or anything like that one wheel sticks out on one side (it isn't lowered so its not the panhard rod), and bbecause ive got 205's on the back its not good havin a wheel stickin out. So if anyone knows how to fix it please reply.
thanks Danny

Check the Panard rod for bends or it mounts may have moved,
put it up on ramps and and have a good look,

The Panard rod's job is to control the location of the diff, centrally under the car and stop any sideways movement,

so most likely you have bent it mount's or the arm,

cheers
