2007 Acura TL LowerControlArm/Bushings/Knuckle?

So I hit a curb in January thinking it was just my alignment I attempted to get it fixed but was told my control arm was bent(which it may or not be). They put the car on a lift and quoted me 1600 to fix all those parts but 400 just for the Control Arm. Here's where I'm conflicted. They never told me this was broken(image attached). Which leads me to believe that damage may not be as bad as they thought or worse. As this is a problem you would have to take the tire off to see. I did that on my own and say this. I haven't driven it since I seen this myself and its just gonna continue to kill the tire. Before I take it back to the shop and show them. Is there any info on where I should start? I don't think my problems are based on all the things they've pointed out. Any information on this would be GREATLY appreciated.

Simply put... What am I looking at here?

That looks like either part #10 or #11 in the link below, its the subframe mount. Odds are though that something else is damaged that it broke like that in the first place.

Yeah, I think that is the part that is broken but I also have a feeling there's a lot more damage there based on how far apart the pieces are. I really don't like what I've circled where the LCA rear bushing meets the frame. Looks badly bent. Not sure if it is supposed to be straight vertical but pretty sure it isn't supposed to be leaning that far back. Definitely need a good shop to carefully go over the car. Could need a new sub frame or maybe that can be fixed. We can't know because we aren't there.
