Icon2 Kinda embarassing, but I hit a curb

Alright so I was debating about asking this as it is pretty embarrassing. The other night I was driving home after a looooooooong day and, being quite sleepy, I was going a bit fast on a right turn and hit my back right wheel on the curb. My hubcap is a bit bent but that's not my main worry.

I've noticed a high-pitched squealing sound occasionally when I'm turning right or even just driving straight. It can last anywhere from 2-20 seconds and I'm worried about what I could have done to that part of the car.

In terms of suspension, I'm on Neuspeed springs and stock shocks I believe. Any ideas as to what could be causing the squealing?

Do you have rear disc brakes? Does the sound go away when you brake? Also you may be rubbing something in your fender well.
