Looks like a Balljoint failure. The image is too close.

By the looks of your tire, I'd say you'll be buying a new tire too.

EDIT - For the lazy like me:

Check out the above picture. If the LCA lost the ball joint, and the wheel is straight up and down, what caused the CV shaft to buckle like it is? It looks like the front axle differential or the mount is either broken or no bolts. The center housing should be solid and straight, with the CV making the angles. What has happened here? Maybe it is just picture angle.

With cv at those angles, might have destroyed it too

That knuckle is toast my man. This isn't the for sale section but I literally just replaced both of mine with lift knuckle if you need it let me know u pay shipping and it's yours.
