i hit a curb and bent a rim and now i have this thump noise and i can feel it coming from my front. Like a spring binding i took my springs out and saw if they were sitting right and they were on there fine. when i leave it at 1st gear and just ease off to a start i have thumps coming repeatedly and i have a bunch of clunks when i turn. it can all be a sound of a regular evo but it wasnt like this before.
anyone have similar experience?

 

Wrong section.



Is the bent wheel still on the car?

 

Could be a number of things but it could also be a wheel bearing .
Not sure if you checked but you could have also damaged your rim and or tire .
But since it does it more when turning i would say wheel bearing or Cv axle .

 

sry if its one the wrong section.. wheels fixed and tires replaced.
hm.. i guess i would have to search at the symptoms of a broken wheel bearing and cv axle

 

+ one on the cv joint/axle

 

so does most clunks come from the cv joint/axle??

 

+2 for CV axle.
it will make noise during turns in relation to RPMS/speed,
usually, it is a noise that isn't as noticable(if at all) when driving straight, but is very audible when making a turn.
Easy way to check wheel bearing is jack up that end of the car and grab the wheel.
move (not rotate) the wheel left/right, then up/down.
If you get any play, your bearing is out.

 

The reason i also say wheel bearing is because it will make the same noise going strait but not as loud , when turning that noise is increased .
Its almost loud a growling going on and off .

 

i think i found the problem.. i lifted up my car and went under and found that the hole where the two bolts connecting the strut to the wheel has increased space. hard to explain the in words but the hole is now a oval shape not a clean fit with the bolts.. i tighten them up with a impact gun real hard and it seems to have solved most of the problem. after that the alignment has changed dramtically.. but thinking of buying some new struts..later on..
i ll have to check the CV too just incase. thx

 

most likely is the CV joint

 

also check your tie rod on that side. those fail too when you hit a curb hard enough to bend a rim
