I was taking a right turn around the corner today, from a STOP sign, while another person was turning left. She did not give me much room, so my rear right wheel hit the curb. I don't know how hard it was on the wheel but I felt a good bump. There is no damage to the wheel, just the tire is scuffed.

Could this screw up the suspension parts? or the axel?

I guess tomorrow I will ask a co-worker to follow me and check if my wheel is wobbling.

Maybe - and maybe not. Your coworker will most likely see nothing - if it was so bad, you would feel it. Take your ride to the service shop and ask them to check RR tire balance and your alignment. This is the only way to be sure, everything else is a guess work.

If you continue driving, even if you do not feel like anything is wrong, it may screw up your tire (uneven wear), or wheel hub/bearing (bad wheel disbalance or bent rim).

When I hit a BIG chunk of wood in my old Mazda doing 60, my steel rim got bent real bad, my tire blew, and my alignment had to be done.

hey I also noticed that the jack support tab near the right rear wheel is missing rustproofing. Not sure if it is from encountering the curb. Are the jack support tabs susceptible to rust?

not too sure about the TL-S, but as far as I remembered, the tab is just a metal, and if your car previously being jack up by whoever's work on your car and use a wrong equipment, it could damage the paint/ undercoating since there had been metal to metal rubbing each other (tab vs. the jack/ lift supporting point)

that's unfortunately is not too preventable unless you work on your own car all the time and being very accurate and careful when you put your jack underneath it.

but there should be no concern even the tab's being bent...
