Default stupid speed bumps!

So last night I had just gotten to Tallahassee,Fl to visit my girlfriend and as I'm pulling down her street going about 30 maybe 35 i hear a loud thud. apparently her development put just one speed bump in and no light so you could see it. My question is do you think any real damage happened to the suspension? It was one of those speed bumps that are only about 8" wide but pretty steep.

I dont think you did any damage, unless the car is making some kind of noises? is that the case?

I live in mexico where speedbumps are common. I have driven all sorts of speeds on my 2 in dropped stang and heard all sorts of bangs, clacks, and scrapes. She runs like a MF top.

i think you will b ok, check underneath to see if anything is hangin too, but iwould just kinda look everything once over. but if the car pulls one way or another, you might have bent something a little bit.

sounds like you're fine to me, just take a look at your front suspension components
