Unhappy Hit curb with front right tire straight on (control arm bushing destroyed)

So I lost control and went straight over the curb at 5-15mph with front right wheel in my 2007 g35 coupe no damage to the rim and the tire stayed on the rim and is still inflated. The wheel is now pushed back about an inch. The bushing on the front right lower control arm (transverse) is damaged and control arm now is turned to the left. Tie rod looks fine and no leaks. Thinking about replacing that control arm, and the other lower aluminum control arm (compression arm). What else might have gotten damaged? Help would be appreciated.
Here are some pics.

might go ahead and plan on replacing the hub/bearing as well. They don't like any kind of impact like that. If it doesn't make noise right away it probably will start soon after repairs are completed. As far as replacing anything else, you won't really know 100% until you put it on an alignment machine
