Vibration and sounds

[Alupinski]

So A quick history of the problem hit a curb with the left front tire broke the lower control arm and Raccon Pinion steering. All parts were replaced and alignment done. Car drives fine except when I turn the wheel to the right while driving I get a vibration in the car and what sounds like an airplane propeller or running over rumble strips in the road. Only happens at speeds over 30 turning right the faster I go the faster the vibration and the sound could it be possible that it is the wheel bearings the swaybar bent or the strut tower. When the curb was hit wheel was turned to the right

I reckon any of those three could be bad.

I'd start with the wheel bearing/hub.

Follow up inspecting the strut.

Dumb question but how can you tell if any of those are damaged? I looked it all over but it all looks fine.

Front suspension damage can be hard to "see" without the proper instruments and experience.

Back in the day, one could visually inspect the shock absorber and tie rod to see if they were bent. The bearings and spindle could be easily taken apart and inspected, to see of they were lose, worn or dry.

But you didn't ask about back in the day ..........

I would suggest you take your car into a reputable auto shop, that specializes in alignments and have them check it out.
