i ran into a curb going around an icy turn, my front drivers side tire smashed into the curb and messed up my car. i had to replace the outside tie rod and the sway bar link, i still have a pulsing vibration coming from the front end. i looked at other peoples ideas and some people said it might be a ball bearing. does anyone have any ideas?? please help, thanks

 

Have you ruled out a bent wheel? Damaged belts in the tire?

 

yeah i changed to my summer wheels and it still made the same noise, ive been told it could also be the inner tie rod? but i wouldnt think it would make a pulsing vibration noise

 

Check for loose balljoints.
- upper control arm
- lower control arm
- outer tie-rod end
- inner tie-rod (that balljont is inside the rubber rack boot)

Any of them would allow the wheel to wobble while driving.

Lift the front of the car & spin the wheel. Bent hub causing the wheel to wobble?

 

its not a bent hub cap, the uppar control arm and ball joint have a tiny bit of play and im going to replace that next pay day but i didnt figure it could cause a noise that severe.

 

There's a radius rod bolted to the lower control arm. That radius rod goes forward where it's bolted into the car's structure with rubber bushings. Easy to overlook cause it just dissappears forwards towards the front bumper. The curb hit might have loosened that at the forward end???
(just another thing to check & rule out)

Seems like you'd need more than a "tiny bit" of play to cause your problem, but ????

 

okay i will check that out, thanks for your help. hopefully i can get this problem fixed soon
