hit a curb...:(

hey guys, i have a quick question. The other day i parked close to the curb. Neways i wasnt paying attention and when i back out i turned and the back right wheel hit the curb going about 5 miles per hour max. Ever since the back feels likes its all wiggly and jumpy. I checked under the car, everything looks fine. I asked my friend to drive the car around while i looked at the wheel. It looks a lil wobbley, but its not really noticeable...can anyone help me out? the rim doesnt look bent.

thanks,
nick

he said the back wheels. Please explain when the back feels wobbly. Fast speeds, all the time, just turning.

the wobble isnt that noticeable..like i can faintly feel it...after the curb was hit, i immediately noticed there was something different with the car. i took the car to speeds of 60 and it drove fine...i cant explain it, it just feels a lil diff.i think the rim could have bent slighty to make it feel like it does...i think imma throw on the spare tom. and see if it does the same thing...i dont think it could have been serious since it happened when i backed up goin at most 5 mph

if your hearing noise i seriously doubt its the alignment, not to mention an alignment wont cause a
wobbley
feel. If i were to guess i would say wheel bent, tire seperated(but you changed tire and wheel with no change) and or bent the rear wheel bearing hub. Possibly even a bent spindle/knuckle. Jack it up and spein the tire and look and see what bent/ making noise would be a nice start
