Since the front suspension of ANY vehicle is not designed to take stress/impact in the direction in which it was hit (lateral), a NUMBEr of componants could have been damaged...frame damage could have happened as well.....
The speed that you are talking about is actually enough to do quite a bit of damage to a vehicle......
A number of years back, I was pulling out into an intersection and was "t-boned" by someone....a little more speed than you mention though....My truck (a Dodge D-50 mini truck 4x4) sustained suspension damage in the form of a bent steering knuckle....plus body damage....Everything else hung in there pretty well, but the knuckle was majorly tweeked.
Aside from steering knuckle damage, anything from balljoints to pitman arms/idler arms, to rim damage to front frame damage could have been incured....
From the sound of your post, you sound like you are absorbing the cost of the repairs??
