near miss !, a very close call to major dissaster Options

I was returning from the movies last night and as I was going thru the ramp a car in front of me for some reason stopped at the end of the ramp instead of just keep going and join the highway ( there is no stop or yield sign as there is a designated lane for the ramp ) but nonetheless is my fault for going to fast and to avoid hitting his car, I pushed the brakes, that's when my car remind me " hey I'm FWD " so I hit the curve with the rear and then with the front. there is no body damage to the car but my suspension shows the following






that's all the damage I can spot on my car, there is any other place I should inspect for damage ?

Holy **** dude, i had the EXACT same thing happen to me when i was 16 and i had just gotten my license. My mistake was just stupid and i was being careless, but the damage looks identical. I ended up having to replace the rear tie rod that like yours was bent in the exact same shape, the front control arm like yours showed the same damage and that was replaced, and i also had to buy a new rim cuse it was so out of true from the hub, but one of the rims was salvageable. Good luck with the repairs, have someone check that the suspension is still aligned, plus you will need an alignment anyways after replacing those parts. Good luck man.

PS your CV boot on your drive shaft is torn, you should replace that too before your drive shaft dies completely.
