I need some insight into what I may have done, need to fix.
Last week I was caught out on some ice, and slid at about 5km/h into a curb sideways. There was absolutely no detectable damage to the alignment or drive train - The car runs perfectly at 160km, straight as an arrow and quiet as a church mouse.
The noise has no beat to it. It is a solid tone hum (Not very loud - But being sensitive to every sound of my car, I notice it). One suggestion that was made was that I may have bent the steel belt of the tire - But I discount this because of the fact that the car tracks and the noise disappears when at 130km.
What I have noticed is that there is a small dent on bodywork (About 2 cm indent) visible when viewed from ground level looking up. The dent is in about the middle of the front door frame along the bottom. There is no change in the door alignment or spacing between the frame and door.
Also - Speaking about the front driver wheel well. The plastic lining was ripped at the front of the tire well about 3/4 of the width across from the outside to in, about 5 cm up from the bottom of the front side mud guard.
Any thoughts at all would be appreciated. I plan to have the car looked at on Monday. I want to have a plan when I speak to the dealer.
I am willing and happy to email photos if that would help.
Thanks
