hit a curb
I accidentally ran over curb in a parking lot turning too tightly (5-10 mph 'd guess). Rear right wheel only. car drove home fine but is it likely I damaged something? Should I take it to a dealer to have it checked? My cars only 4 months old and I already think I've messed it up.

I remember I hit a curb the same way and my tire quickly went flat. I was only going like maybe 4mph. It was one of those sharp edged curves. I had to buy a new nitto 555R tire cause of it. Also my rim lip got bent just a little where the cub hit..sukked.

I was about to ask the same thing. If you hit it hard, you should probably check your wheel for dents or a leaking tire. But if you drove over it, I think you should be ok. Either way, if the car feels funny, have it checked out.

I did this one time in Hawaii when I was in the Navy... I was driving on Pearl Harbor and was staring at a good looking girl walking on the other side of the street when my front right tire smacked into the curb and made a loud scratching thud. Yes a very embarrasing moment. lol
In the end the rim was bent but nothing else proved wrong. Fixed the wheel and fixed the problem. You are probably ok.
