<< Okay guys, here's another one for you. I just found out that my left
 rear axle is probably bent. A friend noticed that the rear wobbles as I
 drive. I checked the rim but it's good since it's brand new. As most of
 you know I've got that crinkled fender from the PO and, thinking in
 hindsight, there was a bent to hell rim in the trunk when I bought it,
 as well. >>

This sounds like a bent drive hub and drum to me. I'd check them first before 
looking into an axle. And I'd also expect a pretty good gear oil leak if it 
had a bent axle. :O I hope this helps.
