Rainy and slid into curb

My front strut bar came into the mail yesterday and i installed it on my 97 integra rs and went for a test drive. I was swerving testing it out. Everything was fine. I went a took a right around the corner to test it out and the car slid on the wet ground and wouldn't stop till I hit the curb. My front left wheel is now pushed back towards the wheel well. I am not sure what was bent or broken to fix it. Or how much it would cost me to fix.

Look at them from bottom picture up.

It could be a number of things. The parts associated with how the wheel sits are the lower control arm, the upper control arm, and the knuckle.

I would bet on the lower control arm being the problem. For the front, it is a two piece design. If you dont know, its number 7/8 in the picture.




And since we got the point across that "swerving when its raining" is a bad idea, and the OP shouldnt do it again, I dont think we need to beat the dead horse. And I am pretty sure OP learned his lesson.
