'03 nissan sentra 50,000 mi, V4. The car slid on ice as I was pulling into the gym. The front driver's side tire hit the curb pretty hard and now the tire touches the car, i think this is called the wheel arch? The car makes a noise when I try to move it, so I think I may have it towed instead. Any ideas on what this could possibly be? thanx

if the tire is touching the car then something is bent. it could be a tie rod or even the control arm. have it checked to find out what the damage is before driving, or more damage could result, including tire damage. good luck
