Ok I was following a curve in the road a few weeks ago and trying to change a cd at the same time and the wheel kinda slipped outta my hand for a second and I kissed the curb at about 35mph...need less to say now there is a sort of grinding noise coming from the passengers side now which I presume to be the wheel bearing... but while I was underneath looking for any visable damage and i found that both of my lower ball joint boots are torn and it looks like my lower engine mount might be split...
Lower Ball Joint Boot - Driver
Lower Ball Joint Boot - Passenger
LowerEngineMount
LowerEngineMount2
Just wondering if these could have anything to do with the curb and how serious/urgent it is
I hate it when that POST button gets stuck!!

I wouldn't worry too much about that engine mount but you're going to want to replace the ball joints.
Both ball joints are shot, or on the way out. Replace them.
The engine mount is toast, replace it.
The pass. side bearing is probably bad, replace the other stuff first and see if it still makes noise.
Check for damage to the control arm, bushings, steering end links.
I hope you learned your lesson.
yes yes use preview...and wait until the road is straight to change cds
