Rubbing noise during slowing.

Okay bad news.... I think my Cougar woahs are starting... Anyways, I hit some nasty pot hole the other day by wooster, and after that, everytime my car is between 55 down to 10 there is a constant grabbing/rubbing coming from my front driverside wheel, or atleast I think so... Basically its like a grinding noise, but its only during slowing. I can feel it in the steering wheel so Im thinking its in the steering, or in the suspension that goes along with the steering. I dont think its a tranny issue because the tranny is shifting etc. just fine, but the constant rubbing sound worries me.
If anyone can help explain this I would love you in a non ghey way forever. Cuz Im gonna get it in a shop in about a month since I leave Sat. for school and figure I wont be driving it, but I would like to fix it myself and just have the shop or someone on here tell me whats wrong.
Thanks!
