Im diving out of work tonight and its freaking dark. My windows were fogged up and I thought i had enouhg clearance, but my rear D/s tire ended up going over the 6" concrete curb. The car doens't feel the same after. No broken noiuse, but it feels rougher than before. How can I check for a bent rim? or what else might this have done? I know that there can be a lot, but Im not sure what could have been hurt. I was going like 15 Mph.

To check for a bent rim, jack the car up, tape a bit of wire (old coat hanger or similar) to the car so that the end of the wire is at the edge of the rim, rotate wheel and see if there is any movement away of towards the bit of wire. Also check your trackrod ends, these go often and need to be checked every now and then anyway.
