I slid into a curb doing about 5-8mph on snow/ice.

My winter tire steel rim combo weren't able to stop the SHO tonight and hit the curb pretty hard deflecting off violently making the rear driver's side hit the ten inch high curb too. Got out and made sure everything was straight and it was. Unfortunately she does not steer straight anymore. From a 9 to 3 o'clock position she is now at the 10 to 4 o'clock position.
I don't know what is bent, and hope that nothing is and should be easily fixed by a simple wheel alignment. Luckily my two children were not in the car.

When I hit a curb entering my parking entrance, I had to replace my spindle, strut, LCA, endlink, subframe, and trans mount. Hopefully yours isn't as severe, but I'd check the LCA, and tie rod end.

First...

I would get the sub-frame aligned first, so you can see what is actually bent,
taking this out of the equation is necessary to get the front back into proper
spec., IMO.
