Unhappy Grinding noise from rear ?

Hi, well I need help with my 2004 Mustang GT its 4.6l SOHC, a few days ago while driving home from work I spun out of control due to bald tires and ended up hitting the curb with both driver side wheels, there was no body damage, I am going crazy trying to figure out what is the grinding noise while I turn to the right, When I hit the curb I bent the rear drive axle and broke the rotor, i replaced both brand new, I cannot see anything wrong with the front end of the car, the only thing is the bushings on the driver side wheel seem to have moved and my steering wheel is no longer aligned, its slightly turned to the right when i try to go straight, but also i did chip off a 2 inch piece of the fron rim, however the grinding noise seems to be coming from the rear end of the car, the brakes are in good condition and it only seems to happen when i turn to the right speed doesnt matter I can hear the sound wether im going 5mph or 35mph...any help would be appreciated..

I would check for rotor or caliper contact with the dust shield on the rear, as well check to see if the caliper bracket is bent or crack alowing contact with something. With the front end chances are you also bent a tie rod I would check that out as well.

I have the EXACT same problem. It's more prominent when I turn right too. I don't know what it is but if I find it I'll post it up. If you happen to figure it out shoot me a PM haha

Hey don't know if you ever got anywhere with this, but I had my car checked out. Without taking anything apart the mechanic said he's 90% sure its a bad pinion bearing. Hope this helps out out too.
