Crashed car, questions re suspension / drive shafts

    Hi,

    Hopefully somebody can help.

    I'd an accident where I clipped the side of a lorry and got dragged back a bit before getting released.

    Damage:
    Bent wishbone
    Bent tie rod end.
    Possibe bent anti roll bar (maybe not)
    Airbag
    indicator

    I'm not too worried about the visuals of it.

    But, I've removed the wishbone but now when I hold in the driveshaft into the box it vibrates hard and bangs. Also, the passenger side drive shaft doesn't spin. Will slilghtly spin if I hit the hub with a hammmer but stops again.

    Granted I know its not worth fixing money wise but, could the gearbox have been damaged? Or could the driver CV joint be knackered and this is whats causing the banging noise?
    Why would passenger wheel not be spinning now?
