blown bushing?

[borntorun]

i drove into a big pothole, bottoming out my car REALLY hard. ever since then when im driving my front drivers side tire makes a rattling sound...kinda like if i had a loose lug nut. also, when the car is off the ground i can grab the wheel at the top (or bottom) and it will kind of move in and out, as if making a slight adjustment in camber. my wheel/caliper/hub everything moves together.

so i know that the rattling sound is my wheel slightly wobbling back and forth...but what the heck could be causing this? did i bend something? blow out a bushing?

wheel bearing

or could be the strut to knuckle bolts... get under there and start trying to tigten stuff...see what's loose.

so you definately think its something loose...and not something broken?

i dont notice any difference at all in the handling feel, just the noise coming from the vibrating wheel hub

cant really say, so get under the car and start prodding.
