Bearing Question

Hey I was doing doughnut when at the end I hit a curb. Now I get that "sqweak,sqweak,sqeak" sound going down the road. Seam to notice it really well around 20-25MPH. Which bearing do you think I damaged and do you think I bent the axle too? Damage to the wheel is crack about 5 inches long at the lip of the wheel, and pushed it a little. I didn't hit the curb that hard, I was very surprised to see the wheel cracked, figured it would have only bent it. Also, do they make stronger axle bearings, I know they make stronger axles, cause this is my second curb accident, and I don't plan on making it a trilogy but if there is stronger stuff I'd rather put IT in then put the same thing back in.

You possibly bent the axle and you probably need new axle bearings with it... You may want to lift the rear in the air with the car in drive to see what might be out of round.
