Pull the wheel off and look for broken/bent bits?
It sounds f**k if it snapped a caliper bolt. I'd be on the lookout for new control arms, new spindle, and maybe even new radius rod. Pull it all apart and have a look but you lazy prick!

Sounds like you may have bent the stub axle, loading up the caliper bolts in the process and making them hard to remove.
Just remove the front stub assembly, get it on the bench and check it over... |

May be get a professional to look at it if it is too hard to fix, insurance might cover it as well if there is lots of damage |
