Bumped a Curb with my SS... Should I be worried?

[ssrs2lt]

The curb is probably destroyed ha! No curb has the right to touch a Camaro.... worst case alignment

Thx for all the help & feedback guys. I'll probably get it checked out for alignment but I won't rush to do it. I'm still getting use to the longish hood on this car & I'm always closer to things than I think I am . If I do it I'll report the findings.

I don't think you need to worry about hitting the curb, no damage no foul, these cars are put through worse when they test them.

Nothing damaged on the car except a tiny scuff on the black rubber under the air dam. I would only be doing no more than 5 mph if that when it went over it.

Was worried I could have damaged something..... Car seems okay took it up to about 90 mph & no shakes or pulls or anything. Stopped at my GM dealer just before closing not long after that & asked them about it & the guy suggested I might want to throw it on the alignment machine to make sure nothing is bent or moved. Of course driving it now I am really sensitive to what I did so it seems a little off but nothing really tangible so may well be in my head

So my question to you Camaro keeners like me what would you do? Just keep going or get it checked out?

Thx,

Cam

Yeah if I did anything & I'm not sure I did at all it would only be alignment. Of course now I've convinced my self the steering wheel has a very slight off center bias to the right when driving straight. Mind you it could have been like that the whole time & i'm only noticing it now.........

Like a ROCK !!!

Does it drive straight with the steering wheel in the proper location? I ran over a curb a few months back and the steering wheel was at the 1 o'clock position but the car still drove like normal. Had the alignment done and aside from resetting the steering wheel the rear wheel was out of alignment. I enjoyed riding the curb I went on through and mounted it with the back wheel too before I realized the "oh sh!t" moment.

Nothing permanent but worth getting checked out.
