You deffinetly need a new upper control arm, shock, maybe even a knuckle and lower control arm.

We need pictures of that, in a well lite area.

EDIT- also airbags.

my concern is the frame rail didnt make it out ok.

also, what areas specifically did you want pictures?

and how do i find if my frame rail is ok? i showed the pictures to a self proclaimed "auto body expert" and he claimed that the white sheet metal was crumple zone and the frame was fine, but i'm not sure if i really believe him

strut is bent.not supposed to bend like that. your spring should be okay, it can flex but not 100% sure unless you take it off to see.

need picks of your lower control arm, and the sub frame.
