Default hit a curb...what else could be wrong?

i hit a curb a little while ago...swung a little wide and hit it pretty hard. i know that the brake rotor is warped because whenever i break it pulses now, and when i am breaking from around seventy mph it shakes violently. what else could have messed up other than the alignment...other then when i brake the car seems to be fine.

Maybe it was doign it before. Smacking a curb will break a lot of things but it won't warp a rotor.

You could have damaged an axle, bent your rim, or a viariety of suspension components.

Good luck! I did this last winter when I used to drive my car in the snow. It was my outer tie rod that was bent.
