help... worn control arm

so 2 days ago i had a 1/4 tank issue with my 93 yj, and ran out of gas on the middle of the lake.. so walked to shore called a cab & picked up my truck w/ a jerry can of gas. on the way to the rescue @ 60 kms/hour in a foot and a half of fresh snow i hit an ice heave 1 foot high and launched my 07 into the air & down hard onto the passenger side.. result was blown tire & stock steel rim. changed tire & headed home, the problem is now the passenger side is 1 inch closer to the rear of the fender & rubs hard when turning to the right. the lower control arm feels sloppy now compared to the others but isn't visually bent. nothing looks bent or broken & ball joints still feel tight. could the play in the control arm be the result of the impact/ tire rub?? obviously i will need new arms, what type should i look into? adjustable?longer? any help would be greatly appreciated

I would guess you may want to pull the control arm out to see if it is damaged or munched on the end that you can't see?
