Slammed curb; Lower control arm?
 
2001 Audit TT Quattro

Long story short, I was driving along (all the roads were fine), pulled into my neighborhood and it was pure ice. Front drive wheel slammed into the curb and pushed it back about 1.5" - 2".

It looks like the lower control arm was bent, does this sound right?

Is there anything else that is more likely bent, or additional pieces that could be broken?

Thanks for any help.

Funny thing is, when I left I was drifting through the ice the entire way (away from curbs of course).

Pulling back in at 5 MPH and that's what got me...
