Default impact and alignment.
today i was driving around and made a pretty sharp turn with a little bit of throttle, well you get the picture...

i spun out and the front tires hit the curb head on, probably not going more than 7 MPH but i just want to know if this has happened to anyone. and if this negatively affects alignment?

well it may have done nothing at all to the car , but you definetly wanna make sure and get it aligned again even if it doesnt pull to the side just to be safe

I agree if there is even the slight bit of pull have it checked.It doesn't take much to knock it out.

YEP! lol.. Happened to me a few months ago in the rain, I was haulin' **** though, went right up the curb almost through a guys fence lol.. Alignment stayed perfect, didn't hurt a thing. I was truely suprized. Didn't dint the rims, pop a tire, scrape the front apron, nothing.. Get it checked though, Sheila's okay isn't she?
