Shackles pushed over

When I checked my rear truck wheel for being bent I found out it was not bent. But, when I had it parked in Portland someone had hit the rear driver's side of my truck and dented the bed and also had pushed the left rear shackle into the frame it seems. So, the tire people said I should likely take this to a body shop for repairs since it may have moved the whole rear wheels and axle a little to the right when they did this. If I had known it was more than superficial likely I would have taken it in for repair sooner. However, there was not evidence on the wheel or tire at the time that anything was amiss structurally. So, I guess it's better late than never regarding things like this. It could be that's why I'm getting a little vibration on my driver's wheel when driving at high speed. I had taken it to Toyota thinking that it was the Damper gear in the front end but possibly that isn't what is causing this slight vibration to the drivers wheel at high speeds. Better late than never for safety.
