if you bent the rotor....thats kinda hard to do, the rim would also be bent to sh1t. aka smashed!
if its bent, rotating could make a difference, i'd have it balanced to make sure its not bent sooner or later tho.

Rotated. Feel a whole lot different than it was before.
A tie rod end though? Couldn't I tell that by looking at it?
I mean the car still drives straight.
jack up a front tire, leave the wheel tight, grab the tire at the 3 o clock position, push and pull, you have almost no play, if a tie rod is bad you will feel it move, maybe even feel a click. do this for both sides.
Inner tie rod could be bent throwing alignment off.
Kolton.. fwiw after you confirmed my suspicion, the below is how I translate what you wrote:
"Hi.. I hit something hard and then wonder why my car seems to drive straight, but my tires are shredding off and squealing."
Maybe I've been playing with cars too long. But this sure seems like it's obviously going to effect the way the car drives.
You're right... doesn't make sense... but really it makes noise. But still rides straightQuote:

If you hit a curb i can almost 100% guarantee you need an alignment.
