Tire sqeel after hitting a curb... Need alignment?

While parking, I slightly hit front right whell against the curb. Now when I drive slow or slow down, rubber sqeels a little. Did I misalign something???

Thanks!

check your tie rods they might be bent if not then you might of bent something else. I would take it to the shop like NTB or something (because they don't charge you for allighment if you car needs repairs do so). If it is your tie rod it's like $35-40 I believe for one part which is inner tie rod, I dought you will need the outer one.

I hit it really slightly and almost positive I do not have any damage. There wasn't even a scratch on a rim, however you're right, better safe than sorry.

it's really hard to tell, but since you tire is squeeling you can tell that you alligment is trown way off. Possible bent tie rod.
