The same night you posted this.
I was about to make a u turn and I had a green arrow.
And noticed a car going threw a red light right towards me and had to stop in the middle of my turn.That car would've peeled my front off.
I was pissed,I had the family in the car. Drove by them at the next light and they looked like they were texting with the interior lights on.
Good thing I watch for the assholes on the street or my car would've looked like that truck.
Hope you did not get hurt.
When it comes down to it,it's just a car.
I think you or someone you know send me a text by accident about your accident.
good luck.

After taking another look at both cars damage.
It looks like what I said almost happend to me.
Except it looks like she was making the U Turn and you were going straght.
Specially since where your car is in the picture and you took the hit on the drivers and her on the passenger side.
Maybe I'm wrong but after my encounter and seeing the damage...

Just get a set of ingalls with the adjustable ball joint. I'm sorry about what happened man. Hopefully everything works out and you get some mods out of the whole deal.

Be sure to take a good look at the the mounting spots for the lower and upper control arms that the tabs are not bent or ripped off.
I also would consider replacing radius rod and sway bar bushings and links,also see how much play are in the ball joints now.
bent or broken parts are easy to see.Hits like that can hold hidden damage that you may miss when repairing but,will be noticable as soon as you drive it.
Replace all you can afford
