That's the base model TCA setup
If you jack it up and give the passenger wheel a good yank, is there movement forward and backwards, and if so, what's moving?
Nothing looks obviously snapped from the pictures and certainly the TCA appears attached to the subframe and hub alright, although the TCA bush for the ARB (which forms the rear support) looks distinctly 2nd hand. Is the ARB attached to the rear of the subframe as it's meant to be, as if that's not attached there would be nothing stopping the TCA (and thus wheel) moving backwards.
Very clear from the photos that it's way out of line though, I just can't see why!
Certainly does in some of the pictures (eg #5) although at a glance it still looks in line enough that it shouldn't have moved the wheel back by the degree it has. The other attaching points for the subframe should prevent any notable movement even if that mount is snapped, assuming of course that they're not loose!
