Endlink, ball joint(s)...jack the car up, take the wheel off and look.

What kind of suspension are you on? Coilovers? OEM? Are you at stock height? Or lowered? I ask because i ran over a big pot hole once and it blew out my rear coilover. That might be the case.

No-one will be able to tell you what it is as its not just ONE thing that can go bad.

Spend 20-30minutes if its your first time and jack up the corner that hit and check tierods/balljoints/endlinks/damper body for leaks/bent lower control arm.

I'm going to take a stab and say its a blown strut, I just took mine out and it seems that's what my problem was.
