Default 2000 SL1 vibration/noise in front end

The car hit a 6 inch curb a couple of years back and ever since a slight
vibration/noise has gotten worse. When turning left at high speeds the
noise gets louder and turning right it fades away. It has gotten worse
ever since. Both the left and right wheel bearings have been replaced. The
dealership couldn't find anything wrong. Anyone have any suggestions on
what else could be the culprit?

Thanks

Sounds like a cv joint gone.
that is the symptom that a bad one gives.

I had a constant rattle throughout my Saturn and took it to the dealer
who found no remedy. Later I discovered that the rubber motor mount
had broken on one side. Replaced both and no more vibration.
