Default Suspension help

So, the other week in the snow I skidded around a corner and bounced the rear nearside wheel off of the kerb.

I now have a knock when I turn a corner and a humming sound coming from the wheel. I've checked the wheel and it all looks sound, no play in it which might suggest I've damaged the bearing.

Underneath the anti roll bar link looks a bit skew - see picture. Are these links always supposed to be straight or does mine look damaged?

If I am replacing the drop link is it best to replace both sides?

Are there any other components I should be checking for damage?

I would suggest getting it checked by a professional. Your safety & the safety of your fellow motorists is paramount.
