Default i went over a curb....

i parked next to a curb and when i was backing out of my parking spot i turned to sharp and the front passenger tire went over the curb. i was only going like 5 mph. i didnt do any tire damage and my hub caps are fine. i just scratched the bottom of the bumper a little bit but i have touch up paint for that. do you guys think there is anything else i couldve messed up? i would get my alignment checked but i was going really slow. thanks for the responses!

an alignment isn't needed, unless you feel a difference in the feel of your car.

If your Civic is shaking more than the Enterprise-A at maximum speed, you might need to have it checked. If it drives the same, no worries mate.

I ran over a divider at 40+mph and my '93 is still fine. It has some slight vibrations during braking from 60+mph. You should be fine at that low speed.

I think my bushings are damaged. A mechanic couldn't see any looseness in the suspension that would be visible to the eye.
