Default What do i need to replace? (damage pics included)

Incase someone reading this doesn't know my story, my car got rear-ended/side swiped and the passenger side of the car lifted off the ground. I am not sure how fed up this is and what i need to change but i know the rear stabilizer shouldn't be rubbing the strut.
driver side - side that stayed on the ground

passenger side - side that got hit and lifted off the ground

I'm leaning toward you being wrong lol, both mine are the sameway and came straight from the factory that way.

tularisgp, thanks for pointing that out. Actually you are wrong, well kind of. The driver side is the one installed wrong. I just looked at the parts diagram and it shows the endlink facing toward the wheel not toward the diff.

When i lifted the car i saw that the passenger side endlink was ground down because of rubbing the strut so that needs to be replace. Do you guys think a simple alignment would be able to restore that gap between the endlink and the strut. Or does something have to be bent for that kind of damage to occur?
