I would say pull the axle shaft, i'm guessing you either bent the axle or shattered a bearing. If nothing else, take the tire off, and use a construction square to check trueness.

I crashed spun sideways into a curb in my 06 Mustang and I had the same thing... axle shaft was bent and wheel bearing busted up too. Took the opportunity to upgrade to Moser axles on both sides and replaced the busted up wheel bearing, whole job done in one afternoon... I imagine it is equally as simple on anything with a live rear axel. Good luck!
