Ran over a curb... repairs?

I ran over a curb last night in my '90 80Q, pretty entirely my own fault.
After I coaxed the car back home, and took off the front wheel tonight
several things became apparent. The wheel itself was rubbing against the
inner wheel well the few blocks until home, as well as the rubber being
rather badly nicked (I was afraid the tire would explode). With the wheel
off, it is obvious the lower control arm is severly bent, and the ball
joints look in bad shape. Is there anything else I should look for damage
wise? Also, where can I purchase a new control arm, and where can I find
some instructions on installing it?
Thanks,
David Miller
