Default Does this cause any damage? Help please.

Lol...

Ok, so I was at the El Pollo Loco drive-thru and as I was making a left turn to get to the other window.

The turn was smooth, till bam! My left rear tire went over the curb next to the drive-thru. Not entirely over the curb.. But you know, going over it a bit, then falling off right away.

It was about 5.5 inches high.

Question: Does this cause any damage to the car?

Does it look like it caused damage? Hard to say without a pic or without driving it. If your rim is bent on the edge, that could cause a leak or your balance to become off. If it drives ok and your keeping tire pressure i wouldnt worry about it.

Not really damage to your car just your rim.

Oh and if it did any serious side wall damage, like take a big chunk out, that could be bad.

Ok, I just went outside to look at my wheels + tires.

Wheels aren't bent or anything.

Tires have no chunks gone.

And I don't know if I just noticed this now since I'm paranoid after doing what I just did... But when I let go of my steering wheel, the car seems to head towards slightly to the left.. Sometimes it wouldn't do it at all though... I don't know?

check your tire pressure... If your front left tire is low, the car will pull to the left.

yours look like its got fat tyres on and that's a bonus when hitting the curb like that so chances are its ok but next time drive properly and avoid these objects
