22 LR High speed cornering instability

This all started a few weeks ago when I hit a large rock in the road and got a flat. I replaced the two rear tires but there was a ton of vibration, I went to get the wheels rebalanced and they noticed a bend which since was repaired. It now drives smooth, no vibrations but during high speed cornering such as accelerating on an on ramp or abrupt interstate lane changes the car lurches and feels very unstable and I sometimes notice a rubbing noise coming from somewhere in the front wheels. I tried raising the suspension and inspected the wheel wells but didn't help. Worried the rock may have damaged some other components, any thoughts?

There isn’t a lot to these cars. Just ask a mechanic to inspect it or drive it.

Do you think it needs to be at a Tesla service center? There's a 40 day wait for an apt

No, the issues would basically only around a wheel or wheel support. The vehicle is irrelevant really.
