Slid into a curb.

[Shotgun76]

So I slid my wife's GTPP into a curb the other night. Hard. Concrete grinded the RR wheel up pretty good. I've got a new wheel on its way. However, I have a noise that sounds like it's coming from corner of the car also. I jacked up the car and removed the wheel. Didn't see anything bent and can't tell that anything is rubbing. It almost sounds like a brake dragging or something. Could it be a messed up bearing? I believe that I can hear every rotation of the tire. Suggestions on things to check? When I swap the wheels I'm going to get an alignment.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check and see if it makes that noise when you install the new wheel. If not post pictures of the IRS, i can't think of anything that would do that unless somehow you bent the studs or hub which I highly doubt. Your car would be vibrating like crazy.

Fucked up bearing and damaged suspension components for sure.

18000? That's no ordinary accident. That's total destruction

I did this! Get an alignment ASAP, nothing bent on mine but it can happen... Replace your wheel bearing, it will sound like a small air plane at certain speeds. Its about 60-100/wheel for parts. Look into getting the wheel refurbed, mine needed it anyway and its generally cheaper than new wheels.
