I've got a couple of rims that look like that sitting in my garage lol. I smacked some curbs pretty good since I've had the car. I once slid sideways all the way up onto the neutral ground. My entire suspension has been swapped out since then, including front control arms so I guess any damaged/bent items have been replaced.
Is that your control arm taco'd like that!!?? wow, I never hit anything that hard. looks like it completely tore your swaybar mount as well. did it break the strut??
I have a couple of perfectly good front control arms w/balljoints installed (swapped GT500 ca's and steeda x5 joints in) sitting in my garage gathering dust. That would fix 50% of your problem. Then a new strut and swaybar link and you're back in business dude!

yeah...if you're lucky the upper strut mount disintegrated (plastic pos anyway) and the strut piston just yanked out through it. Get us a pic of the upper strut mount/shock tower under-hood. It would be interesting to see...
like I said, I have a set of good control arms with balljoints and stock struts/springs/mounts in my parts bin I'd let go for about $400 for everything. That would get you back on the road at least...
