bad noise

[adidasho]

the other day I ran over a sizable curb with the right front side and soon after that it started to make a clicking/grinding/rubbing noise that you can feel in the steering wheel when you turn and when you go over certain bumps that tilt the car. I pushed up and down on that side and I heard nothing, so I'm guessing it's either a CV joint or a half-shaft. It stopped doing it for a while and it comes back sometimes. Any ideas?

You probably bent a wheel and will have to remove and inspect for other damaged parts. Why are you asking for opinions on this one? Puzzles me.

It's kind of hard to see bent parts from here, this is one where you have to get under and look.

I didn't bend a wheel, I would've noticed that. I'm asking opinions because I know jack squat about SHO's and I'm jsut guessing, hoping somebody else knows.

How do you know you didn't bend a wheel? Sometimes it is not very noticeable to the eye. If you have a tire balancer then it will be easy to see if you have a bent rim. I would check to see if your tension strut, control arm, swaybar endlink, etc. are bent.
