Default '98 Mustang front suspenion problem

A couple of weeks a go I hit my front right tire against a curb. Wasn't going too fast but the wheel took the brunt of the last bit of momentum. (Someone cut me off and I had to brake/swerve to avoid them.)

The tire pressure held, even tough the rim took some minor damage. After doing realignment and rotation there is still a vibration and thumping noise that is coming from the front right. It's not the rim or tire (that's been replaced) so my guess it is some part of suspension. I only hear the noise at speeds about 50mph (on the freeway) and can feel extra vibration coming through the gas pedal.

When I take it in the shop to get examined I'd like to be more aware of what the problem might be. So if a wheel sustained a low speed impact like that, and I now have an abnormal vibration, what part would be the most vulnerable. It's a standard 1998 Ford Mustang.

I wonder how much this could cost me too. :/
