    So the other day I was getting impatient waiting to turn left into my fav burrito joint. I crept to far forward and turned in and bam, hit the curb with the right front and up over with my back tire. It was loud enough to where everyone turned to look. The weird part is everything seems fine. Drives straight , no bent rim or air leak. Does anyone know of what else to check? The curb was about 6 to 8 inches tall.

    You may want to inspect the tire for signs of belt separation and other damage.

    get an alignment. The alignment rack will tell you if anything is bent.

    Nothing to worry about if no driveabiility issues. You can do much worse hitting a pothole on the highway or going offroading.

    Anyone craving a burrito today? I've got a feeling I'll stop on the way to the clinic.

    Burrito and joint in the same sentence? You’ve won my attention.
