Default Have I bent an axle ?

Ok so I cleaned up lowish curb the other day fairly swiftly on the right hand side.

Drove home, didn't hear anything weird.. Have not driven it since..

Today I took it out and noticed a weird "Whirring" sound (almost like a 4x4 tyre) when I turn right, and almost feels like a slight vibration as well.

Any ideas ? Anything else that it could be ?

Thanks for the response

Rim isn't too bad.. Curb was fairly low and ot just took a nice scrape out of the "lip" of the rim.

Hoping its not a pricey fix whatever it is.
