basically it seems to me that they ****ed up a bit in putting the timing belt on, cuz even if you hit a curb, thats not going to make a timing belt loosen or skip if it was correctly installed.

If you slammed on the brakes like that, I would say that the ticking is suspension related. I'm not too sure what it is, but check the recall list if you haven't already, and have whatever needs to be taken care of then taken care of. Mention the problem, and see what they say.
Just a suggestion.

I doubt hitting the brakes hard would cause a suspension problem and definately wouldn't loosen the timing belt. I've slammed the brakes and locked the wheels before in cars and NEVER had a problem with anything like that.
