Default front end problem??

yesterday i was driving home and on some new street they are paving, one side said bump so i obviously slowed down, and the other side looked fine and said nothing, no f****** sign, so i slowed down right as i saw it, hit it kinda bad but i hope nothing is wrong. my alignment seems to be fine i just want to know how to check to make sure i didnt jack anything up. just sometimes sounds like something is loose, but seems to handleand hold up strong. let me know if i can check or have someone check everything.

thanks

Zach

lol if you bent a rim, you would know. if it sounds like somethings loose, it may just be a random bolt or washer, if it was anything major youd probably notice.

I'm guessing you bottomed out the suspension? Here are things to check for for problems.

1). Tire PSI, a bent or slightly bent rim will cause your tire to lose air and go flat pretty quick
2). Alignment, does the car still drive straight?
3). Is there any oil coming from the struts?, if a seal was damaged when the strut was fully compressed oil will start to leak
4). Do a visual inspection of the springs for any cracks, the steering for any leakage, the swaybar to make sure its on there tight and the brake system for any leaks, damage to hoses.

Good Luck,

E.
