Default Crunching Sound From Front Wheel

My mom drives a 2010 IS250 and when she first got it she hit a curb pretty hard. It has been a while since I drove the car and today I detailed it for her and when I was driving I noticed every time the drivers side front wheel hit a bump it would make a very disturbing sound. The best way I could describe it would be a hollow crunching sound, almost a rattling. Im not too familiar with the working parts of a suspension so does anyone know what the problem could be? How much should she expect to pay to have it fixed?
Thanks

Sounds like either a ball joint or the strut. Could be damaged from hitting the curb. If you put the car on jackstands, you can kinda push/pull on the suspension components. If it's loose or clicks, then that's where the noise is coming from. But be careful not to rock the car off of the jackstands.

Just my $.02...
