Hi all! So I hit a curb when I slid while turning due to the icy weather here, had it inspected by the dealership and had a wheel alignment done ($200, yeah I know). They said there were no bent parts, but the rim has a very small dent and no damage to the tires itself.

I am hearing this strange "flapping" sound, I took a video of it since it's a bit difficult trying to explain it.

Apologies for the poor quality!


You can see that near the end, I'm driving about 50 km/hr and the sound can be clearly heard. It's hard to pinpoint it, but it feels the sound is coming from the front passenger side. There is no vibration. I'm scared if there may be some internal damage to the wheel bearing or strut, but I'm hoping someone here would be knowledgable with this or had a similar experience and help me out before I get it inspected again.

I have no clue which noise you are trying to point out.
All I could identify was maybe a turn signal clicking.

I will try recording a better video some time today, YouTube seems to have reduced the audio quality quite significantly. Apologies for that!

I just wanted to add that when I drive about 100 km/hr (about 60mph), my steering wheel is shaking, but it's mild.

Just following up with another recording of the rattling noise problem I'm having (HD quality).

It's really prominent when I'm going 100 km/hr then letting go of the gas pedal to reach 70 km/hr.


Again, thanks for any insight you might have regarding this!

Faint, but I'll guess it's a bad wheel bearing.
Most likely on the corner that took the hit.

Thank you for the response Ezone. I have an appointment setup to have this checked out and will update this thread once the results are in, hopefully this will help others as well if they run into my situation.
