Tire pushed back

Tire pushed back
I am curious what was damaged to cause the tire to push back. My son hit a curb and now the tire is pushed back. It is not centered in the wheel well. I see damage to the body but not the frame. Could it be the control arms are bent? I hope you guys can help so i can. If you need more pictures with the tire off or anything else let me know.
If it is to major i am just going to part it out.

A bent control arm or damaged control arm bushing could cause this issue. Is the wheel shown in the picture pointed straight forward?

It is pointing straight forward. When you look down at it from the hood. it looks like it is at an angle downwards. Like the top of the itre sticks out and the bottom is inwards.

If that is the case, then you likely have bent the upper control arm.

How hard is it to replace the control arm on these? I have never done it on a blazer.

Thanks X. I think this will come in handy. Especially if i decide to tackle this project. Still debating on whether or not to just part it out.
