Default Problem with front suspension..HELP!

Ok, first of all.. I have H&R sports mated to koni yellow on my car.
My front camber was around 1.8 both sides...the cars suspension was doing fine.
Here´s the story:
one night i was driving and my driver side front tire hit a big pothole..
I damaged my tire..and had to buy a new one.
Well my camber got worst on the driver side it went from 1.8 to 2.3.
The bearing inside hub is fucked too..(i´ll fix that soon)when you lift the car you can shake the tightened tire a bit, although, it´s bearly noticible.
And also the drivr side wheel got pulled a little bit back.
After all that..i changed the tire and all..but the suspension was fine..(at least that is what i think)

Now..i went and bought a camber kit to get the damn thing fixed had it aligned..and all..
the four tires have a correct camber position.
BUT now my front suspension is hurt..
it makes weird sreeching noises from the passengers side in the front..
and in the left side i noticed today that in the top of my shock inside the engine bay..around the paint is cracking...so my guess is something is hitting below there..

The suspension at high speeds feels as if it´s gonna break away..
and when you hit a normal bump in the road..it sounds as if it wasn´t dampening nothing..like a "poh" sound.

I don´t know what the hell is happening and today finding out that my paint is cracking inside the engine bay...is not really helping...

Do you think i damaged a control arm?? in the pothole??
What causes the tire to get pulled back? like a quart of an inch. (I know a big ******* pothole does) but what gets damaged that causes that?
please i beg you people help me out!

You have a civic?

If the wheel is closer to the back then you probaly have a bent control arm, take of your wheel and look at the lower arm then compare it with the other side.
