I've done that before. I did like a 360 while doing it too.

I just simply had to get all aligned.

Inner, outer or both, tie rod ends would be a good bet.

Tie rod end” Depend which wheel hit the curb that tie rod end you will need. It just bent so the best thing is to replace with a new one and then to and do wheel alignment.

Hopefully you didn't do any damage that requires the vehicle to goto a body shop. I work in a shop and see frame/structural damage all day long.
