Hoping a curb in a car isn't always a minor accident. A few things should be looked at

Alignment
Axels
Control Arms (bent)
Rims (bent)

I would take your car in to a shop and have it inspected.

check out your outer tie rods and wheel bearings.. Basically all you do is jack the car up in the air and wobble your front tires right to left to see if there is any play for your tie rods.. and to check if you have a bad wheel bearing wobble your tire up and down, you just got to check for play... But anyways like 95ProjectEJ1 said.... check those also.. Good luck bud

You can call Autozone, Kragen, Checkers etc and check... but I would most likely check the marketplace and find a good used one.

Yeah, have it checked. I hit a pothole at like 15 mph and broke an axle.
