hit a curb
so before all the captian obviouses come out, yes i was doing donuts and yes i was driving like an *******. that being said, we have alot of snow here in jersey so i decided to go to a lot and have some fun. basically was doing a few donuts and dragged one out a little to lone and caught a curb. wasnt intense the car didnt almost tip over nothing like that it wasnt a direct hit more of a skim cuz i hit on angle but i deff hit/heard/felt it. the wheel isnt crooked or nothing my tire is fine other than some scuff and a pea sized gouge on the lip of the rim, nothing really looks wrong with the car but i cant really test to see if the car is pulling or hear for noises or anything cuz the roads are still with snow. the only thing is is that as dumb as it may sound i cant break traction anymore to save my life, tried doing donuts again and instead the tired breaking loose the car just catches and makes almost like a growling and binding noise, idk if something is broken cuz driving straight its fine. any suggestions?? thanks

Jack up the front & push & pull on the wheel & tire. Like checking for loose wheel bearings. Any movement or clicking youve got a problem
I would pull the wheel off & give your suspension a good inspection looking for any bent components
But , due to your description of howling / grinding, hoping you dont have any trans or diff issues

Well, that may eliminate the front dif & trans
Jack up the rear & pull that wheel off. Look for broken u-joints, trailing & toe arms etc
Have that wheel checked for out of round.
Now you have me wondering about the rear diff being damaged
Keep us posted on what you find
