Lets play whats that knock.....

Hey guys,
I was wondering if a lowly newbie could get some advice. I've had my 92 for about a year now and recently I hit a rather large pothole on these terrible canadian roads and now I've got a couple of interesting sounds and symptoms coming from coming from the front end:

1) a "hollow" sounding knock coming from the front end - mostly at low speeds going over bumps
2) a light scraping sound coming from the front right when making sharp left turns - this actually might have preceeded the pothole but I didn't really notice it until afterwards
3) a slight shimmy at highway speeds - kinda intermittent, although again the roads in the winter around here are so @#$!ing bad its tough to tell what is from the car and whats from the road.

My initial thoughts was an alignment problem but know I kinda think it could be a little bit more that just that but I'm not sure. Any advice and/or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
