2001 9-5 steering issues

Sometimes I hate my life...2 SAAB 9-5s and they're both down!! This problem is not the car's fault. Car was parked with the front wheels turned to the right and it got side-swiped. The driver's front wheel got slammed pushing the car up the curb. The lower control arm buckled and got bent, pushing the left front wheel forward and toed in. Changed the control arm with a used part and a new ball joint. Steering is loose, seems like the left side. Had a mechanic put it on a lift, he thought the chassis and steering rack were fine and recommended changing the strut and the spindle/hub. I just changed the strut with another used part, same issue. Has anyone seen a hub fail to a point where the steering is effected? I reused my rear control arm bushing when I changed the control arm, could the rear bushing cause this? Any thoughts are appreciated.
