FIRST REACTION: whoa ****... that looks bad 
EDIT: You should get that checked out... dont be driving around like that. At least be thankful there was no body (cosmetic) damage to the fender or the ground effects or the bumper)

yeah that looks like you bent the control arm you might have to get that replaced and then aligned!! 
Sorry about the hit! 
Hope it doesn't cost you much to fix and i hope everything works out!!

how fast did u hit the curb? and was it at an angle or straight onto the curb? My friend has a 2001 eclipse, and he took a left turn to quick in the snow, and hit the curb at around 25 to 30 mph at probably 45 degree angle, and ****ed up his axle. His total cost from the Mitsubishi dealer was $1,100.

A friend of mine hit the curb in his Focus at about 20mph:
His axle bent and his lower control arm was broken AND his airbags went off, braking the windshield
It cost him more $ to fix than the car is worth...
Just trying to make you feel better
