    Bump-steered into a curb like a rook..

    Hit a big dip with one hand on the steering wheel, headed down the hill home from school, and smashed into a curb.
    Bounced off and kept going in the straight direction.

    Feel like a total rook.. Feel like I'm 16

    Think I sustained a little bit of damage to the valance and iS lip.

    Curbed the HELL out of my RF Style 10's lip.

    Now..

    The car doesn't noticeably veer/steer to any side when going in a straight line.
    Steering motion feels the same as well.

    However, for some reason it looks like I have more negative camber on the driver's side, than on the passenger side (which was hit).

    Also, looks like there is a slight gangster lean to the car now.

    It's dark out and I won't have access to a jack till tomorrow night at the earliest.

    What are some initial thoughts on the damage?

                          Can I get a r3v ruling? This makes 2 thus far.

                              Thinking maybe control arm slightly bent vertically? Would be enough to throw camber out a little bit, but probably not throw alignment off that much.

                              Hopefully that's all it is, doesn't sound like it would be anything major.

                              Sucks that such a clean car and wheel got messed up, but I suppose you should just be thankful it was nothing worse!


                              Go here be happy!

                                              It's all just a perception issue. Continue driving per normal.
