Default what did that rut do to my wrangler

i did some wheeling this weekend and slipped into a major hole/rut. it felt a little weird earlier but i thought it was just the mud, i cleaned it yesterday and it was not any different. i then noticed that my front right wheel was slightly crooked, and it was driving a little funny. i checked underneath and i think it might be my track bar, it seems more bent than usual. im attaching some pictures of the left and right sides and underneath for reference. any help on this subject would be appreciated.

From that second to last pic it looks like the top of the tire is in, toward the center of the Jeep... If that's the case, I'm thinking the C's on the axle near the brake rotors? Check for any bending there. Maybe a broken ball joint?
