It is hard to tell for sure what all is damaged. For sure the hub is broken (duh). You would probably do ok getting one from a salvage yard. It looks like the cv joint on the half shaft also broke, I would go with a rebuilt half shaft rather than trying to reassemble that one.

Looks like the cv axle is broken. I would buy a new axle
and get the knuckle from the salvage yard or the internet.

i would also watch out for loss of power steering fluid, if its leaking you could have a busted rack and pinion, check if the tie rod end is bent as well and get your alignment checked if the steering wheel isn’t straight when you are done, looks like she got smacked pretty good.

With stuff like this is a process. Replace the damaged parts you can see then check the alignment. There may be more that what you’re seeing.

Good luck and keep us posted.
