Honda Civic DX Help

Hey guys, i have a 2002 Honda Civic DX 4 door manual. Around 3 weeks ago i lent my car to my sister and her being well her, she hit a curb with the right tire causing me to get a flat tire and bend the rim. Ever since then the right tire in the front has been feeling loose, like while driving it feels wobbly and when taking bumps makes a nasty noise.

I would like to know what it could be that i need to change to fix this and prevent more damage

thanks

you at least need a new rim and tire, and an alignment. and always replace tires in pairs so you really need two front tires otherwise the car will not drive properly. you may also have suspension damage that you might not be able to tell just by looking. check tie rods, ball joint, lca and bushings, struts, etc. i think there may be more damage than it appears. wait is the tire fine and they remounted it, or is it flat beyond repair?

yeah i would have the suspension checked out in that area, something could easily have been bent.
