Yikes!
That sucks.
From this perspective, the tie rod doesn't look bad. Of course that assessment is just from looking at a picture.
Inner socket looks okay too.
Wheel might be repairable....I would say no but I've seen the before and after on a set of curbed M3 wheels and I would have believed them to be screwed but they got repaired.
but that lower control arm is straight f**ked.

im confused what angle you hit the curb.. sideways or diagonal? then spun the passenger side into it??
i guess it doesnt matter how you hit it, the damage is done. the passenger side might be pretty f**ked up too judging by that massive amount of toe-in. good luck getting everything repaired OK

you'll need an alignment for sure
same thing happen to me few years back. i was trying to drift my civic around a corner but was going too fast and car under steer right into a curb and pushed back two lower control arm and both my front rims and f'ed up one axle. i fixed it the next day but it just dont look right. on my passenger side still looks like its still push back alittle.
ha.. shameless plug...
The temp spare had nothing to do with your CV axle failing.
The CV joint probably failed because the rubber boot, that surrounds the joint that contains the grease, tore letting the grease escape, which resulted in the joint not being lubricated.
extended driving on a temp spare may cause differential damage....but that's whoever's dumb enough to drive for an extended period on a temp spare's fault. After all, it IS a Temporary Spare. Go driving around on that b***h for a week or two or more and you are officially ghetto.
I don't remember exactly what the Civic owner's manual said but most say you should not exceed 50 mph nor should you travel further than 50 miles on a temp spare...hence TEMPORARY in big effin' letters on the sidewall.
But using a Temporary Spare to limp in to a tire shop at or below the recommended speed will not destroy your CV axle. It will eventually ass-rape your diff, but not the CV.
just bend it back with a vice and a torch, put 2 bolts in it and put it on. my boy drove his like that for a week until we got em a new one. is it rubbing on the frame?
X2 temp tires have no affect on your axles. However, if you have one tire on the front that is a different size, the smaller tire will spin faster causing stress on your transmission As stated by beelzebubba.

yo i got my parts the other day and installed! did the lower control arm and everything bolted up fine! still waiting for a fender to show up though? wheels line up fine, hit like 85mph on highway no vibrations or weird noises. I'll post some pics up later! and i still gotta find a matching rim??? or replacements?
pics in a lil bit!!!
