You bent the cam bolt? I find that hard to believe ... but if you did, WOW!

I've never had a problem with the fronts, but then I have serious skidplates up there...

I can see bending the forward LCA mount and adjuster with a hard impact since the front diff crossmember will strengthen the forward section rather well, limiting damage to the side with the impact.
I would be concerned that the impact also bent the rear LCA mount on that side, even if you had a rear LCA truss / brace (might even have pushed the other side rear LCA mount out if you had the truss).
It's all fixable but will take some time on a rack.
