Help please!! 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GTP
Last week, I was going 50 mph and my tire blew. In that process, I lost control and my front driver side tire took all the hit. When I hit the curb, it took out my rib. Huge chunk taken out and dug into my tire. I already replaced my control arm and ball joint assembly and outer tie rod end. Also, got new brake pads because mine were shot and a new tire. Now, my car has the most obnoxious sound like metal rubbing in metal. Also, has a very weird vibration to it. Brakes still don't work very well. I am terrified to drive it. But it is my only transportation. And I do not have money right now to take it to the dealership to have them inspect. Please help me. I do not know what is making that sound.

I'd like to say welcome to the Forum but would encourage you to look at a Pontiac forum to get appropriate answers as I'm sure it would be more productive for you.

things to check
Sub-frame, typically when you curb a car, that takes a hit
Brake dust shield is not rubbing on anything, is it?
Vibration? check wheel balance on front tires and CV joints on that side
