Try and see if tour top arm has stretched, or the pivot pin has bent/cracked, because tie bars will only fit if the bottom arms are the same. When you hit the kerb, the wheel would have pivoted around the bottom arm mount and stretched the top arm. Check your drivetrain. I was jut reading the post to my Dad and realised the passenger wheel has moved, in that case, the top arm must have been squashed or the pin bent/cracked
