Default need help on replacing control arm

hey guys, i just got into a little accident. some drunk person cut me off and i had to evade him/her and swerve, hit a curb. damager wasnt too bad, but my oem lip is scratch, and steering is off. the wheel is rubbing on the inner wheel well pretty bad. the car is on a jack stand now in my garage, wheel/tire is ok just some curbage. i think im going to need a new lower control arm, and an alignment should do. do you know where i can order one cheaper then the dealer? has anyone did a guide to change this out. any help is appreciated.

Take it to a body shop to verify damage before trying to replace parts on your own. My car had the same issues but it had more damage than that. The strut and wheel bearing were also replaced.

For future reference...I made the same mistake so no offence., but hit him and get the license plate # if they run.
