do a visual inspection and look for bent / broken suspension parts. sometimes it can'e be spotted as easy, but ytour car will definately need to be re alighned at the very least, that's if you are lucky, if you are like me, you'll need a new control arm ( been there already )

Suuuucks When I was in my accident, My alignment got SCREWED due to obviously, taking the blunt hit in the LH wheel area, and a bent strut That was an 18 wheeler wheel, you hit a pothole. I don't think it'll be that bad, but good luck

Jack up the car take off the wheel. Check if everything is tightand secure. If any arms are bent. Check if the wheel itself is cracked or bent. Get an alignment too. But if theres noise somethings ****ed.

Finally got home from school today, the alignment is not too far off its just the steering wheel thats bugging the crap out of me, popped the hood when i got home and looked at the wheel, no cracks or anything like that, but my camber is WAY negative, so im gonna fix that and hopefully get a friend to do the alignment tomorrow

Only way to tell is when its on the alignment machine, they will tell you if it doesn't line up straight and IF it doesn't its most likely a control arm or strut, Mine were bent after someone drove into me and you couldn't tell just by looking.

fixed the problem with the alignment, when i hit the pothole it MOVED my camber plate all the way to negative, fixed that and all is now well

Damn! I must have completely over-powered those teeny bolts holding it in place, huh? Glad it's fixed
