lmao, that's a very warm welcome to a club you don't want to be in.

Sadly, I joined about a month ago

Sorry to hear man, post some pics and maybe we can better judge whether or not they can be repaired.

I'm sure the drivetrain doesn't like the impact either.

You must have slammed into it pretty hard. I was under the assumption that you just accidentally ran into a curb pretty decent.

check your CV joint and axle
the vibration most likely is because your CV joint is bend or your swap bar

about 7 years ago on Christmas morning in a snow storm, while driving like a jackass in my eclipse, I hopped a curb. Ended up having to have the frame pulled to get it straight. cost around 1200, but if i remember correctly, they charge per pull.
