You probably bent an arm, messed up the wheel, damaged the tire, probably ball joints. Curbs do a lot of damage.

+1 i didnt even think of bent beam or ball joints. also check your knuckles and tie-rods
 
I'd say check wheel bearings first, THEN head over to other things.
 
Bearing are fractured, if you don't fix, it will literally fall apart.

I hit a curb with my truck, busted the radius arm bushings, didn't think about the bearings and one day POP, GRIND GRIND, the remnants of the bearing was wearing grooves in my spindle.:shok:
 
Definitely check wheel bearings before proceeding to more expensive things.

I am betting on wheel bearings and dented/scored races. If you find a bad bearing or bits of a bearing replace the races as well as the bearings.
 
i am feeling kind of lazy, how much would it cost to take it to a shop?
 
Suck it up and do it yourself! Do not be afraid to get your hands dirty. :annoyed:

Um, greasy? lol.....that's what latex gloves are for. Peel em' off when you're done.....no mess.

I agree though. Not that hard to check bearings, or replace for that matter.

if there is bearing damage, there will probably be damage to the race cups.

That would require either; 1. new rotors with races pre pressed or 2. take off the rotors and press them out yourself/let shop do it.

Other than the bearing races, all else is just as easy as an oil change.

Race cups are supposed to be a "matched pair" with the bearings.
 
the noise went away so i am lost know?

AAA coverage so that when the wheel shits you can get towed easily. Or inspect it now and have peace of mind.
