what to replace after hard hit

Some of you might remember my post about strut tower damage. I have hammered down the 'mushroom' and got it flat as much as possible. Now, the difference between left and right side ride height is minimal. However, I'm at a lost here on what I would need to replace next. The car rides fine, no exagerated pulling except for what was there originally so the alignment doesn't seem off. The only thing I can think of is a possible bent strut and wheel hub (?). The camber on the side that was hit is slightly more negative suggesting possible bending. I ordered a strut and am going to replace that but if the and chance that the hub is bent is it hard to replace yourself?
I'm referring to http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...94&hg=31&fg=10 or part number 31226756889 Is that what they call wheel spindle?
