you may have a bad wheel bearing coming on, that about it unless it was hard enough to bend a rear control arm, raise up the car and check out the arms and sway bar and with the hit wheel up shake it at 9 and 3 to see if theres any play. and lastly dont let your brother drive your car.

you might need alot of pb vlaster to get the corrosion off but i think you can do it, not a hard job, think youll need a new upright and lower control arms. also make sure the cv boot isnt torn and the axle isnt bent, also ive seen that when something is bent (ie: control arms you need a torch to cut them off.
