Changed front control arm after accident

Hello,
I hit a ditch that bent my front control arm. I replaced it with no problems. But, on the test drive I lost steering for a second. I was turning and the car kept going straight. Got under there and noticed the tire was closer to the suspension than the other. I snapped these pictures and it looks like theres something broken there. Please take a look and let me know what yah see there. I took a pic from each side for comparison.

thanks,
Cam
Not sure why the pics aren't showing up. but here's a link

I'd say you did more than bend a control arm. May need a shop on this one, BIG safety issue.
