I had the same problem. I hit the curb in the snow twice and damaged 2 wheel bearings but minor damage to the wheels. The bearings began to make noise almost 4 months later during the spring and made turbine sounds at high speed that you could feel through the steering wheel and pedals. Make sure that the axle is not damaged or the bearing is properly greased because the dealer had to replaced the new bearing one more time due to improper replacement earlier. I have had no problems now for 1 year. If it makes noise or vibration when you hit the pedal and not when you let go the pedal, then there is something with the axle. If its constant noise or vibration coming and going regardless of whether you are accelerating or foot off the pedal, then its the bearing. Hope this help.

Occasionally check to see if the previously damaged front wheel (not the tire) is very hot to the touch after an extended ride. If you are still having bearing problems that wheel will be noticeably hotter than the other front wheel. Of course, any unusual noise or vibration is also a sign of a failing bearing. Also, watch your tires for signs of unusual wear and pulling which are signs of front end misalignment.

DId you get your car fixed after the vibration? I hit a curb at the airport 5 weeks ago with my front right wheel. Afterwards, there was vibration in the steering wheel, so I got that tire rebalanced and all the 4 tires rotated. I did a 4wd alignment since that wheel I hit pushed it out of alignment, but it wasn't a hard kind of hit. But, I still feel a slight vibration through my steering wheel and floor and it comes and goes randomly (no pattern) and depends on what road I am on. The dealer tells me that it may be due to cupping of one of the tire, but I know it might be a bearing or something loose on that wheel since the tire that I hit is now moved to the back of the car and I still get some slight vibration, so it has nothing to do with that rim and tire that I hit.
Did the bearing fix your problem?? I might need to take my car back in and have them inspect everything properly this time.
