Exclamation Spun my Boxster on track: need help

I was driving my Boxster S and spun off the track at reasonable speed. The car skidded pretty wide into the grass to the side but the ground was uneven. The tires lost air as debris collected between the rim and the rubber. However on the way back I noticed that the steering wheel is turned by 30-off degrees ie. the Crest no longer aligned but at an angle to me.

I called my mechanic who said I must have hit something. There was nothing but its possible the ground was uneven and the wheels got slammed (although the wheels are perfectly fine). Also under normal bumps the car is okay but when driving on cobbled streets there is some rattling noise from the middle of the car on the left side.

Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem here ? And what kind of damages we are speaking about?

Thanks in advance.

It could be anything in the front end, control arm, bent tie rod, who knows. Get it in to the shop, something is obviously wrong.
