Power loss after hitting curb.....

So I hit a curb the control arm is fine. my cradle is dented and has a slight bend to the passanget side it is not severe VERY slight. my Tranny got scratched up, it has a slow leak now that I plan to seal with a JB weld and of coarse the wheel was DESTROYED!! so I replaced my tie rods on both ends every thing seems to be in place and nothing else is bent I do still need an alignment. but I have 5 codes now. The codes are as fallows

P1167 Heated O2 Sensor 2 Maximum Voltage Monitoring Bank 2
P1147 Heated O2 Sensor 2 Maximum Voltage Monitoring Bank 1
P0139 Rear O2 sensor Bank 1, Circuit Slow Response
P0159 Rear O2 sensor Bank 2, Circuit Slow Response

And finally the one the in my theory is setting all the O2's off is
P1102 Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Function Heater

So what do I do....? do I replace my MAF? i just reset the codes and havent driven with them reset yet but im sure thats not gunna solve it.

I will upload pics probably tomorrow. sorry I dont have them tonight.....PS thats just what happend to my under carrage I also took out a street sign it flew 30ft but my roof is dented beyond repair and my wind shield cracked......i hit it going 30mph.

thank you
Jake

MAF is your issue - especially if there's an SEL light for it. See if you can clean your MAF first (there's a how-to somewhere for that for under $10) so try that before you spend money on a new one. They're not cheap. o2 sensors cause exhaust issues, but they usually won't hinder performance. A bad MAF will.

Sorry about the accident man .i am having the same problems with the same type of accident except im replacing the exhaust because of it and my MAF went because of the accident i tried the cleaning method it didnt work the other codes i had also were for the O2 sensors one of the wires got nicked and grounded out and i had to replace 2 of them because of it also if you hit hard enuff to damage the rim you might want to replace the wheel bearing while your doing the repairs they didnt replace mine and i started to hear a rubbing type groaning noise when i took it back to get it checked the bearing just fell apart when they took the spindle assy off the car.
