Recently, I slid in some ice going about 30mph and hit a curb laterally, just scraping it with my front right wheel before getting pushed back on the road (nothing too serious). I hit it hard enough to throw off my alignment a little bit, and it took a big chunk out of my 17" wheel.
Now when I accelerate, my front right wheel makes a noise like this: "wub wub wub wub wub wub wubwubwubwubwubwubwub" and gets faster as I travel faster. This happens when driving below 50mph but disappears at highway speeds. Is this just because my wheel is now unbalanced due to the missing chunk, or have I damaged my wheel bearing or something?
Trying to avoid paying $80 at the dealer for a simple diagnostic. Thanks ahead of time for any insight!
