Default HELP Mysterious possible tire rub

So about a week ago my c5 slid into a curb and trashed my right front wheel afterward i had a vibration and, when i turned left i could feel it more and, if i turn right it goes away, well, yesterday i put on 4 brand new wheels and tires and the shop said no suspension damage. So i am wondering if its just a tire rubbing something but i couldn't seem to find anything. This only happens going 35 or higher i am wondering possible sticking caliper because i know the rotors are warped and they have the same rhythm as this vibration but that doesn't explain why right turns solve the problems HELP!

My left front had a scraping sound when I turned it hard right. It ended up being the air duct tube from the front coming into the wheel well. It had become loose. I pushed it forward and it fixed the problem. I don't know if this is your problem, or not. Giood Luck.
