Terrible noise and shaking

hey guys. So yesterday I’m driving, and I hit a pothole. Just a little one. “Boom” all of a sudden my car is making a horrific sound almost like a helicopter noise but louder lol. The steering wheel shakes and the car pulls to the right (the pothole was on the right). Whenever I turn my wheel one way or the other, the noise and problem completely goes away. It only occurs when I’m going straight. PLEASE HELP!!!

Looks like you bent or broke something in your suspension. You'll have to take a look and see what's broken. I'd guess steering related since it goes away when you turn the wheel. Possibly tie rod end.

Turns out to be a bent rim. It was warped pretty darn bad. I just lifted it off the ground and let it idle in 1st gear and I could see the tire was waddling back and forth pretty badly. Thanks for the help.
