Hit a curb - now what?

As I was driving and approaching the divided part of the road, I was on the left lane and while merging onto the divided part, this geezer seems to not know what lane he's in and almost sideswipes me w/ his minivan, forcing me to hit the curb w/ the left front wheel. And all he does is give me this stupid "deer in headlights" look. Evertything appears to look fine, but what damage may have been caused suspension/steering wise?

If the hit was hard enough its possible you might need an alingment. Do you feel that the car is pulling to one side?

Fudge that sucks!

Hopefully you didnt bent a control arm or anything crazy. Most likely your aligment is out of whack though. See how your car drives, if she starts pulling to the sides then you need atleast an alignment. Also check your rim, you might/might not of bent it.
