yesterday i was forced onto the pavement by some stupid van driver and my passenger side front wheel hit the pavement, on my drive back when i went over the speed of 40 it starts to make a whirling noise like something is rubbing or the engine isnt correct , anyone have any idea on what this could be ?
 
Best thing to do is if you have a jack, jack up the car, spin the wheels, check them for play, look at the suspension components, have a look at the shocks, and springs, check the spring hasn't snapped or the shock collapsed. Check for any plastic in the wheel arching casing hasn't come loose and is touching the tyre when travelling. Is it more of a metallic noise that speeds up, if so could be a wheel bearing!
