Possible rear damage?
Alright, so I got a little retarded the other night, came around a corner too hot, and slid sideways into a curb. Probably doing about 20-25mph, front tire hit first, swinging the rear into the curb. It didn't hop onto the curb or anything, just kind of bounced off. Scratched the **** out of my rims. Now, it is driving normal, and handling normal, but the rear tire has been making a low tone, kind of like a train coming down the tracks. I keep thinking I might have a flat tire, but I get out and it's fine. I've pulled both tires off, and all of my suspension looks fine.
Does anybody know what could be making this sound? Possibly out of balance? It's a 1993 Prelude Si

I would have at least that wheel rebalanced then have a 4 wheel alignment. If the sound persists, I'd check the wheel bearing.

most likely a bent rim causing the tire to hop a bit. wheel bearing is tough, rim and tire took most of the beating. a shifted belt in the tire could also make noise, but not likely...get it rebalanced and theyll tell you whats up

I was also thinking bent rim.

Re: Possible rear damage? (Stykz)
Alright so I took it in. It was all sorts of unaligned. Everything was aligned, balanced, and rotated. Still making the churning sound, which I myself am pretty sure it's the bearing as well. My Caster is still way off, my driver side is 3.0 while the passenger side is -1.2 They weren't able to fix that, so now driving my car is like trying to land a plane in strong crosswinds.
