Clicking on drivetrain

Went on a roadtrip and had some problmes, maybe tyou guys can help me annaylize them....

-hit a curb back in fall with my front left tire, pretty bad hit, and couldnt get my allignment to get straight again

-i heard a clciking sound fron the front left, when driving slow, seems to be consistent with the spped i am goni, doesnt matter if im in d or neutrel still keeps clicking as long as i am moving

-car pulls slightly towards the left(alignment)

-once in a while i get the slight sound of metal rubbing when at idle

any ideas what it could be befoer i take it to a mechanic?

Clicking could be your drive axle...

Metal rubbing when at idle? As in: not moving?

yea, at idle i hear a gringing scraping and its constant, as the car moves, it becomes momentary and faster as speed is increased

to me it sounds like either the brakes or you need a new axle. does the sound get louder when you make a right turn, if so then its probably your cv joint.

Hmmm clicking i would check your cv joint and maybe take off your wheel and do some visual inspection to see if anything looks damaged.
