ok, i need some help.

the other day when i was coming home a cat ran out in front of the car. i swerved to aviod it and ended up clipping the curb at about 50 kmh. I rubbed up my mag a little bit, but that doesnt bother me to much.

The thing that bothers me is that now when i cruise along at 40-60 kmh there is a wierd rubbing sound coming from the wheel. also when i reverse out of my drive and turn the car from one lock to the other and drive foward there is a wierd click sound.....

i was thinking i could have buggered the ball joint, but havenet had a chance to look.

i thought that i might have done the bearings or something as well????

any feedback would be awesome, i dont wanna splash out money on needless parts if i dont have too, so thats why i have come to ask the experts.

thanks in advance for your input.

The rubbing sound, to me sounds like a wheel bearing. Does it change intensity when you turn the steering wheel back and forth to transfer vehicle weight from side to side?

The clicking noise sound like a possibly a bad CV joint.

i'd agree with the posibility of a bad CV joint... when you go into gear do you hear a clunk sound? The rubbing sound could be a bent rim that might be rubbing.

Hows your allignment?

next time, hit the cat. it's cheaper to clean hair off the car than to fix it
