Odd noise after accident.

[Retired Chief]

My wife spun out and went over a curb while driving my Z Sunday morning. Thankfully, she wasn't hurt and cosmetically, I can't find anything wrong with my car. I checked everything underneath as well. However, while driving I can hear a pulsing humming noise. It only happens between 45 - 50 mph and while in a right turn. I can't feel any vibration associated with the noise. I took the car to the dealer yesterday and they checked the undercarriage and said everything looks fine. They also balanced all 4 tires and did an alignment. They said they don't hear anything out of the ordinary but I can still hear the noise. I've done a little research and it may be a wheel bearing. Any ideas what this new noise could be?

reading I was thinking wheel bearing, many newer cars use wheel bearing assymbly's whihc can be difficult to detect until they get worse, if thats the case ti'll sowly get worse, and untill it gets significantly worse it nothing to worry about

Thanks for the quick reply, evil. Will driving with the bad wheel bearing damage any other associated parts...maybe the axle or something?

not unless it's real bad, if it's juat a soft occasional noise it's nto an issue, when it becomes a constant nise or has measurable movement at the wheel it needs to be delt with
