Bent Wheel?

Hi all, need some advice please.

In the recent snowy weather I managed to spin the car round and hit a kerb with the drivers side rear wheel (my speed on impact was no more than 10mph). This resulted in what looked like the wheel bending inwards. Took it to a garage and the lower arm was bent so replaced this which lessened the problem but didn't get rid of it. The upper arms are fine and all adjustments are on maximum so the camber can't be adjusted any more. The wheel itself is also fine.

The wheel actually runs on constant positive camber by about 10-15 degrees on normal as well as toeing in ever so slightly. There is no wheel wobble on driving and the car doesn't seem to feel unstable.

Advice please - I seem to be getting different advice from everybody I speak to as to what the extent of the problem could be, wondering if anybody else has had a similar experience.

The car is a 2001 Lexus GS430.

Thank you.
