This is the Firebird, right? I would check to see if the frame is bent too with all that carnage. That shock mount moved pretty far, the frame had to have moved with it.

the lower control arm is fine and the frame is fine do you think if i just went to the junk yard and picked up the whole left front suspension parts i would be fine without any problems

That strut is cashed too dude, from all the pictures I have looked at that mount should not be bent like that. Is the other side like that?
