    A couple days ago we had a really bad rain storm and some guy slammed on his brakes in front of me so instead of hitting him i took the curb. (knowing it would be a lot cheaper). I smacked the curb doing about 30 mph. Luckly i timed it perfectly to only hit the tire and do no damage to the body at all. But It knocked my tire inward and back. I replaced the control arm, sway bar link, and inner tie rod. Its driveable right now but the tires still pitched out at the top kinda like / its only like a -2 degree but its enough to pull it to the right. its not just the alignment because the little bit that its pushed out its farther out of the wheel well than all the other tires. I took it to a shop to get a really quick diagnostic and he said the hub might be bent a bearings might have went. but then i told him that its making a knocking noise then i brake kinda hard, hit some bumps and take some turns. I was thinking it might be the strut because thats really the only thing that control the top pitch of the tire but i may be wrong. theres also a noise that sounds like a birds chirping to the rotation of my tire. ( getting more consistent the faster i go) but that might be because the rotor guard got crushed and it scratched my rotor a little bit. I just wanted to get the opinion of other people who have experience with TC's
