Went up a big curb, now i have this strange noise going over speed bumps

few nights ago i dropped my friend off in schools parking lot. all the windows were covered with fog and with the 15% tint, i couldnt see $hit. i was turning in this tight section of the lot just doing a 180 turn without using the gas pedal (going like barely 5 mph) then i suddenly heard this loud BOOM noise and found myself completly up on top of this giant 6"-8" curb. i put the car in R and slowly got off the curb the way i climbed on top of it. as i was coming off, i heard the splash guard under the front bumper hit the ground a coupla times. i check it afterwards and its still in the place and not hanging loose.

today i noticed that when i go over speed bumps at a higher speed (like 10-15 mph) i hear this rubbin noise, sounds alittle like the splash guard hittin the speed bump. but when i take it much slower, i dont hear any noise. im thinkin it could be my dust boots cuz i know for a fact that they are all ripped apart and hangin loose there. im thinkin it gets stuck between the springs or something. should i worry about anything??? suspention is fully stock...

p.s now im thinkin that my entire exhaust could have been damaged when i went up that curb... lol

i just inspected the car (under it) and everything seems fine. under normal driving, everything seems to be as usual and perfectly fine. I went over this speed bump several times and tested it. it seems to happen alot less and its almost going away. it only happens during 15-20 mph when going over the speed bumps which is pretty fast. i doubt its anything big as far as i know...

You go over speed bumps at 15-20MPH? Holy ****. Its fxkers like you that make them put in larger bumps that make us lowered people cringe as our o2 sensor gets gratted off. Simple solution is not to go over speed bumps. I usually take them at less than 5MPH at an angle.

15mph over speed bumps eek! are these the ones that are really long and not that high like normal speed bumps? or are they just really small normal ones. i try avoiding speed bumps at all costs.
