Hit a curb going kinda fast, grinding noise on full-right + off-center steering

I hit one of those parking blocks going approximately 30mph. The steering wheel of my car is now slightly off-center, but both wheels look properly aligned. It was making a hard right turn when it hit the curb. The left front tire took most of the hit, witht he side of the tire, the left rear hit with the front of the tire and just ran over it. There is also a grinding noise if I turn the wheel all the way to the left while moving. Nothing underneath looks bent, could I have messed up the steering box? How hard would it be to change it?
