I was taking a right hand turn last night…kinda tired…wasn’t paying attention in the snow…ended up oversteering and sliding into the opposite curb at about 10-15km/hr (maybe less). I hit the rear driver wheel with the car at about a 45degree angle to the curb… How strong is the rear suspension? Would that hit have affected alignment or broken/bent anything?

how is the car driving now? any noises? responsiveness?

check the spacing between the outside of the wheel and the body, comapre that to the good side, that’ll tell you if you have any bent components

good luck
