I have a 03 Corolla S and have BFG directional tires on my car, 7k on them...A couple weeks ago I hit a cat(a black one) that I couldn't avoid it shot under my front passenger side wheel...it went ka-thump and sounded like it spun around my wheel well once

...The next day I noticed a road noise coming from that side, I checked it out and found my plastic wheel well guard was sprung out, no big thing I just snapped it back in. Then the noise kept getting louder so I took it to my tire shop and had them check the tire...We both went over the tire with a fine tooth comb, nothing wrong..the wheel well was fine also so he re-balance the tire it was just a little off...Since then the road noise has gotten worse and it not my brakes because when I apply the peddle it still makes that sound? ITS DRIVING ME FRIGGIN NUTS

any suggestions??? I just had the tires rotated and balanced 2K ago. It really sounds like I have a small bulge/bump but I couldn't find it and the cat was small not like a dog or a racoon, possum...HELP..thanks....RADD GUY
