This is where I came up with the bent axle idea, but like caringb said, the damaged spindle theory makes sense. The tires are the same size and the tire wear was only on one half of the tire.

I am dumb for not thinking about popping the cover and talking a look inside to see what going on.

Thanks for the support, I'll let you know my findings

I don't know man, if it were mine, and I were in your shoes, I would consult a auto body shop. They would have frame specs and have a good idea of damaged parts. From here, it sounds like you're unsure about the cause of the wear and am about to "lob" parts at it. I hear where you're coming from but to replace a complete rear end just seams extreme.

I can only imagine what the tire look like (as you haven't posted any pictures) but if the rear end is out of alignment, it could be the equivalent of dragging the tires sideways as you drive at speed.

Good Luck
