Ran over pothole now car is making a funny noise

So I ran over a deep pothole over a speed bump which I could not avoid.. now my front left wheel is making a scraping noise like something is going to fall off! I've checked all over and nothing is loose and I can't see anything hanging off when I looked underneath, but it has damaged something! Does anyone know what this could be? Can't believe this! I've reported the pothole to the council and I am hoping to make a claim! I will be taking it to the mechanic but man then potholes...! I am sick to death of them... they're everywhere in my town!

IT sounds like your coil spring on the shock absorber. I know because this happened to my car in June. It will need to be replaced and car shouldn’t be driven as it can collapse. However I would get it checked because it might not be that. Best of luck.

@TheFaerieQueene thank you for replying! It's at the garage now and it is a broken coil spring :( £130 bill!
