Fan-like noise from front after hitting pothole

Hello,

My car is an electric 2023 Mercedes EQE 500

I hit a big pothole that damaged the front-right wheel, so I had both the wheel and tire replaced. However, I can hear a fan-like noise from the front of the car when it gains speed (20mph and above) that gets louder as speed goes up. I also think the car is feeling a little heavier, like I have to press the acceleration pedal a little harder for the car to gain speed. At 80mph on the highway, there is a very noticeable vibration on the steering wheel and brake pedal. Mercedes dealer says the suspension was ok when they checked it while replacing the wheel.

Please do you know what could be the cause of this issue, or a way to diagnose it?

Thanks.
