What components are damaged? *PIC*
Not my car.
He hit a curb at high speeds which caused the front passenger wheel to be dislodged and get pushed in. What do you guys think got damaged?

Hard to say... tie rods, ball joints, shock/strut assy, control arms, steering rack, etc... need a thorough inspection.

Hard to say. Upper control arms probably suffered as well. Depends if the frame machine can get it close enough to allow a wheel alignment to get back within spec. Replacement parts probably won't be all that expensive but i'm sure the body work labor will add up quickly.

SLK does look worse...
Without looking at in person its hard to say. Take it to an mechanic they'll know whats up... My guess control arms, maybe steering rack.
