replacing torque strut

Hey guys- first time poster here.. it appears I have a damaged torque strut mount (see pics), but notice how the joint on the right seems kinda bent? I was just wondering if that's something that will fix itself when I jack up the engine and attempt to move it back into place while I replace the torque strut mount. Or is a more major repair needed? Also, notice how the engine has come forward, it will be difficult to move it back into place to get the new mount in.. any tips? Thanks in advance.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Daaaaaaaaaamn!

That's the lower control arm. Looks normal to me. Compare to the opposite side.

Also, notice how the engine has come forward, it will be difficult to move it back into place to get the new mount in.. any tips?
The engine will rock A LOT, it's suspended by only two mounts above.
Just push it wherever you need it to go so you can assemble the new torque strut.

Re: replacing torque strut

Also if new torque strut does not go in easy then you might have a bent subframe I think that is what you are pointing out in picture
