Please help! Truck went into a curb and now has a bad camber! What do I look for?

Ok I'll try and explain the best i can without rambling. There I was going about 40 when all of a sudden I heard a snap and my truck jerked into the curb on the passenger side. Then it came back onto the road, then back to the curb,and finally resting just of the curb. Turns out the drivers side, lower control arm ubolt fell out causing the wheel to basically flop around. So I got a new bolt and limped her home. All I could visually see is a bent inner tie rod on the drivers side so..that got replaced. But when I step back I can see the passenger side has a pretty bad negative camber. I have not yet gone to the alignment shop yet, but was just curious what too look for, or what to brace myself for. Anybody else have this kind of issue? Amy help would be appreciated.
Sorry for the dark picture.
Thanks fellas
