Bent Steering knuckle; Need to verify parts
1995 Honda civic LX 4DR, with z6 engine (just rebuilt it)
Long story short, was ran off the road. I had a choice to make, risk sliding into oncoming traffic in order to regain control of my car or save everyone's lives and just slam into the curb. Choice: Slam into the curb going about 40. That probably seems like nothing but it was enough to trash my steering. Hit the curb on passenger side front wheel.
Took it to Midas to get it inspected and here's what they gave me:
Bent Steering knuckle, bearing, Tie rod end, axle leaking. (that's exactly how it's written in the report they gave me)
Now I'm sourcing parts so far I have found: Tie rod end, axle, and bearing, (im assuming wheel bearing correct?) I'm also assuming I need a new axle after such a hard collision with Mr. curb.
I'm having a hard time finding the spindle knuckle, or steering knuckle whichever it should go by. I did however find on majestichonda.com (http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com/...tcgry5=KNUCKLE) a part labeled knuckle for 200+ dollars. Is this the correct part that I need to order?
If anyone has done this before please fill me in on any additional parts I need. I'm trying to get this done in less than a week. I want to start ordering parts tomorrow, and finish ordering them on friday when I get paid and have it done asap. Any help is appreciated, I hope the description is thorough and easy to read. Thanks!

The wheel bearing is apparently just fine. I bought a new axle its in. I also pulled a part from another 4dr i believe it was one of the tie rod ends. However, there is still something seriously wrong. The wheel tilts inwards as in the bottom of the wheel (where the wheel made contact with the curb) is tilted inward. When turning left, the wheel rubs as well. Any suggestions? Thanks guys.
