Take the car to a shop and FIND OUT. This is not something you should be
second guessing. Safety issue.

If it's a broken bearing you could be taking your life in your hands.

Don't be stupid. Do what Philip advises and get a qualified person to look
at it ASAP.

And don't drive it if you can help it until an inspection has been
performed.

*IF* it's a bearing, expect about $300-$400 to fix.

But you are made of meat. Live meat does not do well when torn apart.

How much is your life (or insurance rate) worth? Do you love your loved
ones?

Sure it could. But nobody knows until you've had it checked out. Banging
into a curb is a good way to damage your wheel bearings. You can break a
race or put little dents in it from the balls. Either is a big problem.

If you're posting here for this particular problem, you don't have any idea
what you're doing. Get somebody to look at it who does.

We don't know what's wrong or how much it will cost to fix, we can't
see your car from our home computers. ;-) We can only go on the
details you tell us, and a brand new sound after hitting a curb /can/
be bad - but it doesn't have to be.

It could be a simple and cheap fix, and getting it checked out will
cost more than the repair. Could be a loose wheel stud or a loose
bolt holding the suspension to the body, and it just creaks when you
load it a certain way. He gets in there and tightens all the bolts,
maybe pulls a few out to check that they are not cracked or stretched.

And you want to have them put the car on an alignment rack and check
the wheel alignment after a hard curb hit anyway - by the time you
notice that the tires are wearing funny, you could be out a few $75 to
$150 tires.

The noise could also be a broken (or breaking) suspension part like
a ball joint, wheel bearing, or a cracked suspension arm creaking as
the metal bends around the crack. And if it finishes breaking and the
suspension collapses on one side, or your car suddenly tries to make a
hard right turn while you're going down the freeway at 70, things can
get VERY exciting...

And a cracked alloy wheel rim will leak air as a warning, usually.
But not always. That needs to be inspected, too - aluminum won't take
much flexing before the crack grows and the wheel fails destructively.

Go to a good mechanic, explain to him personally exactly how you hit
the curb so he knows what to look for, and have him check it all out.

(You do NOT tell the service advisor all the gory details and assume
he'll tell the mechanic everything you said, he's not doing the work
and may not pass on an important detail. If you slide sideways into
the curb while carrying some speed, instead of just bumping it while
parking, the dynamics are totally different.)

The worst thing that happens is they tell you it's a bad safety
hazard and expensive to fix, so you very slowly and very carefully
drive the car home on side streets. And you park the car safely at
home for a few weeks while you get the repair money together.

Or if it's a bad alloy rim, rather than buying a new one at full
retail right now, you put on the spare tire. And then you have time
to scour the regional junkyards for a good replacement.

Oh truth: If you cannot diagnose it, you should not be the one repairing
it.

I saw a front wheel drive small type car, not Toyota, but one of the
major brands hit a curb and it broke the casting part which connects the
whole right hand wheel assy. No doubt it was a very expensive repair.
It was not driveable in any way. Yours may be less expensive to fix but
not safe to drive. I sure would get it checked before you drive it
again. These little FWD cars are not designed to run into curbs. If
you have collision insurance it may cover it. Reporting the incident to
authorities would have been useful now.

If you can fix it, then you can figure out what's wrong. If you gotta ask,
then you should take it to a shop. It is possible that even if you ask, you
can replace the part(s) yourself, but if you gotta ask what's broke to
decide if you can fix it, then you need to get the car on a rack so somebody
can point out the broken stuff.

Absolutely. A failing CV joint is like a failing diff. I've
seen both fail - only once for each type in all my years of driving,
but it was quite spectacular. Imagine seeing a tire with part
on an axle attached flying 100 ft in the air and landing who
knows where while the car augers into the road at 60mph.
(though I have seen 2-3 rear diffs on fire - a whole other type
of failure)

Most people can get away with it for weeks or months, though, but
considering this was an accident and not normal wearing out, it
could fail in a few months or a few miles.

Also, any rim that has a dent in it needs to be replaced if it's
not very minor(a small nick). If it's aluminum/alloy, it doesn't
bend like steel - it's like a crack in the windshield with no
way to fix it - it cracks and tears itself apart over time.

The recommendation to drive on the spare until you can find a
replacement rim is an excellent one.(this, btw, is the biggest
reason to always look for a car with a full sized spare)

I replaced one from a junk yard in a old VW bug back in the seventies
and I think it was $25. Now days maybe more like $250 or more if you do
it yourself. I hope you don't have anything else busted.
