Default Last Night.

Last night, i was driving about 40 - 60 km/h and i looked down to grab a cd. I hit the curb and blew both tires and bent a rim on the right hand side of my car. I just want to know the chances that i bent the axcel of the car?

if the car goes straight your probably good, although you may have to replace a wheel bearing in the future, if your wheel looked pushed in chances are you bent a control arm which for both sides is atleast 1000 with parts and labour. but if you hit head on straight your probably good and only fvcked the tires and rim.

is it possible that the axcel could be fvcked? and i just cant see notice it.. or most likely just the rims/tires..

i highly doubt it unless the axle hit the curb in which case it would definelty have some sort of visible damage, worst case if anything would be that the cv joint would fail but like i said since you hit it straight on chances are rim and tire damage only.
