A while ago I hit a renagade speed bump a little fast. Since then ive been getting a knocking/ticking sound from the right rear and also have excessive tire wear on the whole of the tire, but it is more worn on the outside, making me believe that it's partially a camber issue. I inspected the rear and front end and saw nothing major. I'm thinking bushings but not sure. Any help would be appreciated.

An alignment check would let you know.

better check your tie rods or else your steering will go out one day running over some minor bumps in the road.....

It's actual my right rear, so wouldn't be a tie rod.

^^Get an alignment check from an auto place like Outtowin said.
