hit a curb need help
i hit a curb in the snowstorm we had yesterday at about 10mph now the wheel is kicked in at the bottom and toe out some. i replaced the ball joint but that wasn't it, i would like some feedback on what i could be. i think the lower control arm is bent down near the steering stop.
sorry the pics are so big.

You know for a fact that you yourself cannot set wheel alignment properly - not by eye anyway and even with replacing every steering and suspension component ..................... so why are you replacing anything at all? - take the thing to an alignment facility and have them adjust it properly - if they cannot they will tell you what needs to be replaced.
What anybody may be suggesting here is a crap-shoot and waste of money

is the other side ok? .... does the rack n pinion turn ok with out noise? if it does its damaged and needs replacement.. if everything seems fine then u ill have to just adjust your toe but unscrewing out the ball joint till its right straight again... but mu guess your rack n pinion its messed up...
Sorry, but what am I missing here?

What an absolute novel approach ................. oh yes, and I guess once you are done just like the OP currently is by his own admission, you only then take it to the shop?

i played around with it today after changing 2 bad injectors (its nice to have this thing running at 100% finally) and the top camber bolt was way out of adjustment so i moved to back but my toe is still out. i tried to adjust the tierod end but it was seized so i will let the shop deal with it. but its at least drivable now.
