sounds like a bent or warped rotor to me....likely, but not necessarily, on the corner that got hit.

Agreed Speedbuggy. I had the same problem a couple years back. After extensive searching I found that the mounting point for my caliper on my LF spindle had been bent. Changed that and had rock hard peddle.
