Q: I a hit a curve and now I got a rubbing vibration on my front tire.

asked by on December 10, 2016

I hit a curve trying to make a turn with my front passenger side tire and broke my rim, now I have a vibration that comes up when I hit speeds between 50 and 60 mph or when I'm coming to a stop from high speeds. The vehicle doesn't pull to the sides or shows any tirewear either. What could be causing the vibration now?

My car has 94400 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
