My passenger side rear suspension failed today. I started to hear a rattleing sound so I slowed down and whithin about 10 seconds the rear lowered down on that side and started to make clunking noises. When I looked at it, I could tell that the upper balljoint? / bushing went out. Looked like this:

I would of called a tow truck, but after using one a week ago for a broken timing belt, I couldnt afford it. I limped the car home like this for about 4 miles. I drove 1st gear really slow. The tire blew out and the rim started to scrape at the end. I have no worries for this tire and rim because I have the other 2 LS mesh rims that I will put tires on. After I made it home it looked like this:

I would really like to keep this hatch out of the scrap yard. How do I fix this? is it possible that the trailing arm or maounts on the body got bent from the unusual forces on it? Please, any help would be appriciated.
