So we had 10 inches of snow down here for the first time and with my good luck and my great job i went into a ditch and hit hard on my right front tire. Now it makes this horrendous scraping noise like metal on metal whenever I drive. Whenever I hit the brakes it gets worse and the brakes feel like they go in and out. I jacked it up and noticed I can take the tire and push the top of the tire toward the truck and pull it back to me( im thinking bearing). Anybody got any other idea on what this could be? BTW i have took the tire off and cleaned everything and it seems the brake is stuck on the rotor.
 






most likely is your bearings due to the noise and brake pedal feel. bu it could also be ball joints. look behind the wheel and see what is actually moving when u wiggle it
 






also depending on how hard you hit that ditch, check your whole front axle and see if nothing got bent/broken.
