Last night I was turning left (it was slippery) and the car infront of me lost control, inorder to avoid hitting it I slammed on the brakes and steered right and my car went right on the curb.
Its not making any funny noises or pulling to the side nor does it feel weird. I was driving it today and no problem what so ever.
I took turns hard and everything felt normal.

I would still have it checked out.
Even a little bit of sudden shock like that to the suspension might change your toe-in, or camber, or alignment.
I remember I did something like that, and whenever I took a sharp left hand turn, the front driver's wheel would rub on the inner pannel. Had to have Nissan push the wheels back. Also, you don't want the tires to pre-maturely wear, that might hurt gas mileage too not too mention the effected tires themselves Go get it checked out.

I'd get it checked out. I bounced the front end up a curb a few nights ago. My steering wheel is a little crooked, and the car is pulling a little to the right. I should find out later this week if the alignment is just off or is something bent. We'll see. Good luck.

These tires are shot as it is anyways and I never hit the curb I went right onto it head onand my car climbed onto it. I drove it hard took hard turns now and everything is fine, I'll take it to a lift tommorot to take the plastic of to see if theres any damges.

Well, how tall was the curb. At any rate, I would take it to a shop and have alignment checked out. If they can align it to factory spec without having to replace anything, you have no suspension damage.

I'll probably do that, the curb was about 10 inches tall, it was pretty high, I climbed it but as I said there are no signs of any damge what so ever. I'll bring it to my buds dad shop tommorow to get it
