You should be talking to the other peoples insurance about fixing something that thier insured broke. If rthe rear is out of adjustment and it affected the front, you have some structural damage.
This needs to be addressed now.
Have a qualified collision center write an estimate and hanb it to the adjuster. Remembering that they don't get paid for spending money.
Be ready for an arguement but hold your ground and don't settle for less.
It is thier responsibility to put the vehicle in the condition it was before the accident.

I think it's a slide in the curb damage. Otherwise he would have sheet metal damage and he would be at the collision center to have all the damage fixed.
Mind you I could be wrong but if it's an impact on that side there should be more damage to the rear and none to the front and body damage also.
How did this happened? Huge pothole? Off roading?

i just put the picture of rear suspension first, so maybe you are confusing.
from the picture, it is obvious that the right rear camber has more serious problem than right front.
my car is 2010 outlander, never get curb damage, so far only 20k miles.
thanks

Generally, you replace the wheels and wishbones (suspension links) with new ones.
If you have to pay for it your self then used ones but make sure they are not damaged also!
The suspension links on the outlander are very light so bend very easy.
It is unlikly to have done any damage to the shell of the car so just replacing the bent arms should put the tracking right. If you had alloy wheels on at the time they will have bent as well and will eventually fall apart so replace those as well.
