Default Sideway into a curb NEED HELP

I was messing around in the rain and went sideway against a curb. chiped the lip completely off. Noticed the wheel was wabling so I put on the spare and its still wable. So I don't think the rim is bent. But I'm not sure what is damage or bet because my brake squeak and wheel wable like its bent.

Sounds like the rotor is shot, possibly the axle. Take it to a mechanic.

Why are people dumb in bad weather! Don't screw around in the rain or snow! Yeah its a hell of a good time but find a school parking lot that is empty or something.

How much will it cost to replace the axle. Cuz I don't think it the rotor. Can it be the hub

an axle is not going to be cheap at all.

is it in the front or the rear? you need to give a little more info, but then you dont call the doctor over the phone and expect a diagnosis do you?

do you feel the wobbling in the brake pedal or does the steering wheel shimmy? both?

you could have bent the control arm, rotor, tie rod end, busted the rotor, bent the spindle, all of the above.

the best answer you can get on here is that it is gonna be costly.
