Spun out and hit a curb now my car is off
 
hello this is my first post and I was hoping to see if anyone could help me out in this situation. Earlier today I lost control of my FC and ended up hitting a curb dead on the side of the wheel. There’s a huge dent in the wheel and the car almost has positive camber. Ik it’s going to be a lot but I’m begging for someone to help me out. I just want a run down of how and what I’m gonna have to replace. Thanks

Replace what's broken

No one here is psychic, what you are asking for requires a visual inspection.

Hopefully it's a bent lower control arm, but in some cases the hit on the side is hard enough to damage the sub-frame.

As stated above, you will need to remove the wheel and inspect the suspension to see what's bent and or broken. Likely you'll have to replace the lower control arm and possibly an inner tie rod. However there could be more damage to the wheel bearing, strut, etc.

Front or rear wheel?

jack the car up on a level surface,

Place a jack-stand under the car in a safe location,

Remove the wheel,

Inspect for damage

remove and replace whatever is damaged. Grab some hand tools and have fun.

Don't get under the car without telling someone you're working under the car, or have your phone close by in case something goes wrong.
