Hit a curb! What could be bent
had a similar problem with my front right
hit dead sideways too
first take it to an alignment shop they should be able to tell you which way its out of whack
and how much this will make it easier to tell whats off
they can also probably see if the rim is bent
if it doesnt vibrate it porbably isnt (i bent mine but i just put it on the back and i dont notice it any more)
after you see the alignment you can probably decide what might be bent
i didnt hit the curb very fast either maybe 15 but i think i got it slowed more
and i bent the lower front control arm and the knuckle

the two main parts that could be bent are
the rear trailing arm
and the rear lower control arm
but you wont be able to tell if its bent or not
even after they took the bent parts out of my car i couldnt tell
but the toe might be off (and probably will be)
this can be adjusted at an alignment ship
and the camber could be off this will have to have the bent parts replaced to fix (or you could do a camber kit but id probably just replace the parts)
hopefully the wheel is still inline front to back
especially if you hit it sideways
