He's saying the axle shaft on the right side is bent at the flange. Easy enough to rip it out and stuff a new one in, probably with a new seal and maybe a new bearing.
Lucky if the right-side wheels aren't bent, too.
Previous alignment shop is staffed with idiots. Don't go back there except to demand a refund. Why is the "Before" toe measurements better than the "Current" toe measurement? Did they make the toe WORSE?
As said--there's multiple potential bent parts up front, (too many to name again.) According to the results sheet posted, the rear axle is not square to the frame, either--but I'll let alignment experts determine how important that is. I don't know what the allowable tolerance is for that--but a tenth of a degree "seems" like "way too much" to me.
IF (big IF) I'm reading that alignment sheet correctly, the axle twist is in the direction that would require right-turn correction at the steering wheel, just as described (although perhaps not as much as described.)
