to tell u the truth,,when i hit the curb i just heard like a nyce snap sound,,but when i reversed out,,my rim was bent,,my alingnment was gone,,and the steering wheel was turned to the right,,i went to toyota a few hourz ago and they said i need a new rim,,tire,,and some "End Arm" or some shit like that,,i need some arm that bent,,thatz the only damage they could actaully see

Probably the tie rod end that they replaced...

As for the noise, i'd go with eyeball and say you busted a strut ... Or a strut mount. Is it just one side or both?
