So I was driving my wife car it as honda accord 2014. I was making an turn and accidentally hit the curb.
I head a bang sound like hitting the fry pan with spoon
I checked the tires and rims and suspension everything seems alright should I be worried .....
Update
So thank God al might my wife car is safe and she is not gonna kill me for taking her car but I do need tires for her car
I went to the mechanic get the car inspected from top to bottom
Yes, you should be. You need to take it to a professional alignment shop for a complete examination of any damage and the current alignment specifications.
The car was at slow speed underground 10mph
Driving a 3000 lb hunk of metal into a stationary object at even 10 mph is guaranteed to cause damage of some kind.
Alright I will get it checked tomorrow thx man
But by any chance do u know what might could have been damaged ?....
It could be a lot of things:; tie rods, axle shafts, steering knuckles or the steering rack itself. Hopefully, it's something minor.
you could have damaged tie rod's and steering components, really anything that controls steering can be damaged, to being out of alignment and so forth, when you hit something like that at any speed it's best to get it checked out.
Not sure if you hit the curb at an angle and went over it or if you just slammed straight into it, which is a lot worse. But either way you should get it looked at, probably needs to be realigned at best after something like that.
I once did something similar at a low speed because someone pulled out in front of me on an icy road forcing me to break and I slid directly into the curb -- car wasn't even safe to drive after that, steering wheel was resting at a 45 degree angle, and it ended up being $800 to get it fixed.
A metallic bang noise is usually not good news.
At the very least, jack up the car & check for obvious impact damage/scuffed paint. Then go investigating the damage, further.
