Default wierd noises from right front tire area, HELP

Ok so heres the background story. It was downpouring one night and I lost the back end and did a complete 360 (i was being stupid) anyways, when I came to the end of my 360, the right front tire hoped up unto a curb pretty damn hard, and then bounced back off as i slid to a stop in a parking lot ( my local pull-a-part, haha)

Anyways, now months later and unsolved, I really wana get it fixed. Here is what happens:

1) whenever I go over bumps, etc, I get a high pitched squeek from the front right tire area. it has got to be something suspention related. It only last as long as the bumps are on the road. HOWEVER, if I go to the front of the car, and press down on the right front fender (as if trying to make the car bounce) there is no queeking.

2) whenever I trun the steering wheel, from inside the car I can hear a noise from the right front passenger area. its comming from outside, and its not the power steering. It sounds like a different kind of squeek, like if you were causing something thats not wanting to be moved turn. Its deff some kind of mechanical noise, although I have no idea what it could be.

Any ideas about either of my two problems? Thank you in advanced

get it up in the air and check for broken/ bent parts. you most likely fubar'd something when you went all tokyo drift into that curb.

Strut bearing problem? I'd take it to a front end shop and have the alignment checked..

well heres the thing. I took it to get alligned the other day and the mechanic didnt say anything along the lines of "holy **** did you know that your tire rods shaped like an S", he didnt say anything at all actually. not one word about anything being wrong other then the allignment was off a little.

The allignment took about 2 weeks to start to pull pretty hard to the left again. and when I mean pull, I am constantly correcting my steering wheel right.

Obviously, the mechanic missed something there...Get it checked out and make sure you mention this isn't your average alignment job lol. Have him check everything on the front.

ok so heres an update.

It turns out that I have not noticed that my drive side front tire is near flat. I guess that would cause the horrible pull right? Haha. Anyways, just need to solve the squeeking now. Thanks guys for your help
