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?

Shock, spring, control arm, tie rods, bushings, brakes might have survived.

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.

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.

That frame will have to be pulled. Besides the suspension parts, I'm sure the shock tower is tweaked. If he gets it repaired, watch for unusual tire wear.
