humming noise....does the noise get louder when you steer to the left or right? if so then it sounds like a hub bearing. now depending on how hard you hit the curb. you will want to take a look at the front end....tie rods and ball joints.

Sounds like something may have damaged the tire or the wheel bearing. Unfortunately todays suspensions cannot handle much abuse. Definitely get the front end inspected closely. Cracks in the control arm mountings are no joke. It could have damaged the subframe.

Could be a CV joint damaged too.

Good luck. If insurance is paying for it, have a reputable mechanic take care of it for you if you aren't positive about what you are doing...
