So over the past 4 months I've experienced the following issues. Are these just typical things to expect or a sign of something else??

Had a A**hole not paying attention rear end me about 4 months ago. Impact wasn't extreme. Only needed rear bumper replaced.

Obviously all wouldn't be related but here are some problems I've been having since then. And keep in mind I'm at 48k miles.

Had alignment done after the accident( everything was out of spec) also had to have one done bout a month before the minor accident due to swaying at 60mph and above on highway.
Bad motor mounts(replaced)
Bad Front passenger wheel bearing was bad(replaced)
Had to have tires rebalanced and road forced twice.
All new tires on the car(Dws06) was hearing a humming noise thought possibly another wheel bearing. Results are that the tires are cupped severely(what from???)

Went back again beginning of last week and yet again another alignment needed.

Could any of these things be a result of the accident or just normal wear? What strikes me odd is all the tire, alignment issues. Never had any steering wheel vibration issues just a constant rumbling in which sounds like it's coming from the tires. Could I be running through sets of tires and having these issues due to underlying frame damage? Is this just common with a sport suspension?

It may also depend on who is doing the alignment. I have had some really bad alignments from dealerships. Maybe find a really reputable racing type alignment shop and have them take a look. It might cost you more, as they normally charge by the hour, but it may answer your questions too.

I've been getting them done at my local audi dealer.

Hop over the bridge to Turnersville. They just did the alignment on my allroad, which was way off, and it was fantastic. Friendly too. Were running a special up until end of July. No idea what August specials are there.
