When I was in Chicago last weekend I hit a curb, well I ran onto the curb. I was kinda retarded, I was at a stop sign and turned right on to the curb which I thought was a road, the speed was really slow at about idle speed.
Could there be any damage to the car like the drive shaft, ball joint, suspension or brake, cus I climbed on to the curb.
The only abnormal behavior I think my car has right now is that the steering isn't perfectly straight and I can actually feel the power steering boost when I make tiny adjustment to the steerign angle, I think my steering wheel viberates now when I'm on the expressway, though my front tires are both at 40PSI, would that be a problem?

Please help me
I'm thinking about taking my car to the dealer and get 4 wheel alignment done, is there anything else I should look out for?

unless you get that alignment done for cheap cuz you know someone at the dealer, or its covered under warranty (which i doubt), I would advise a local shop?... It definitly cheaper than the dealer and its not like the only place u can take your car is to the dealer.

I got a $10 off coupon from Acura of Ann Arbor on Alignments, is it a good deal? I dont know how much it would cost, I plan on spending $60 dollars

Well i personaly dont know... since i get almost all of my work done for free, except for parts that is. But depending on your area, that sounds pretty good. If you really want to know if you have a good deal, just grab your yellow pages and look under automotive. Call maybe 2 or 3 of the shops listed and ask for a price quote on an alignment.

normally alignment is between $30 - $70 for 4-wheel alignment. If you really want to do at the dealer, then with the coupon, it will not be too bad. If Dealer costs $69, then you can look around at the private shops for $40 or $50.

The car is most likely fine, just get a 4-wheel alignment done.

Depending on your proximity to Windy City pedestrians when you jumped the deep-dish curb, though, your ego and pride may be shot.

We can't forgive you for being retarded. On da oder hand, if you had blamed dis all on a hot Chicagoan gurl walking down da street, causing you to gawk her way while turning da wrong way, den dat my friend woulda been a great story.
