Well, you've got independant suspension. You may need just one side of the half shafts.

If it really is bent in then yes you'll need a new strut assembly (a strut bar is on the inside and connects the bolts of the two strut towers: optional) and possibly a new trailing arm. That is the whole assembly that connects the bottom of the hub to the car.
I would say a junk yard is best. Buy it used, you really don't need a brand new one and they are probably NLA.
