    Could have bent the rim or axle shaft. Let an alignment shop take a look.

    You may have damaged the lower ball joint. If they shear off, they can rip the whole wheel and steering knuckle assembly off, which will make for a bad day. Should it need replacing, go with a Moog ball joint. A good mechanic should be able to identify the problem easily.

    You can buy a new Cardone Select half-axle, with a lifetime warranty, for $50. They are easy to pop out and replace:
