fubar = f-ed up beyond all recognition
you could very easily have a bent control arm, bent tie rod, bent steering rack, bent strut, bent... lots of things.

depends what is bent... control arms you could get from the junkyard. tie rods arent that expensive, you should use new ones if they are damaged. steering rack you could use a junkyard one. strut you should buy a new one. it all depends, and also depends if you do the work yourself or not.
if you scrap it i'll buy the kia transmission and axles, assuming they are not damaged. but dont scrap it!

your rim is probably bent, yes. try putting a pair of good (matching) wheels and tires on the front and see how it steers then. you cant bend the parts back if they are bent, you really need to replace them. for some things you can use junkyard parts (control arms for example), other stuff you are better off buying replacements

Ok first things first...
Since your rim is bent what wheel do you have on there now?
How are you sure that anything else is bent if you haven't changed the wheel for one that isn't bent?
I suggest changing the wheel to something that isn't bent and then see if it still drives funny. I'd also suggest change both the fronts to the same wheel. You have nice 17" rims on there now yes? Do you still have the original wheels?
You shouldn't be driving with rims in the snow anyways.
