Hit a curb, need help identifying problem

So the other day, I was driving about 25mph along a road that turned to the left. Through the turn, I shifted my focus to a deer that I thought was about to jump out in front of me, and didn't realize I turned a little short, cut the wheel, and understeered right into the curb.

The car jumped up onto the curb and right back off. The tire is fine, and the rim has some brutal curb rash about halfway around the rim, a quarter inch thick. Now I have a squeaking and grinding sound following me everywhere I go.

I've replaced the bearing/wheel hub assembly, to no avail. Next I will swap wheels and rotors to the front left to see if the problem carries over.

Anyone encounter a similar event? Any thoughts? Advice? Ideas?

Anything is welcome.
