    That doesn't sound good - are you sure that wasn't the case prior to the tyre change? I'm wondering if the big pothole hit may have damaged something other than just the tyre.

    Is the car tramlining at all? Does it make any noises it shouldn't when you're driving with full steering lock applied?

    A worst-case scenario guess from someone who's certainly not mechanically trained - the big hit may have damaged the CV boot. I hope for your sake that isn't the case though.

    Might have damaged the wishbone or mountings. This isn't the kind of thing we should be diagnosing over the internet. I would get it somewhere with a hoist, not necessarily a dealer just a decent mechanic, so that it can be investigated properly.

    I'd call - and I'd also start arranging alternative transport. The last thing you want to be doing is driving around in a car with unknown damage to its brakes/suspension. Not only do you run the risk of doing further damage, but you also run the risk of component failure - something you don't particularly want to contemplate at 60+km/h.
