Hit pothole

Hit pothole
I hit a big pothole today on the highway. It made a loud "boom". It's the passenger front tire. I didn't blow the tire and didn't bent the rim, I think. Should I be worried? My TL drives normal. Sometimes when you hit a pothole your mind tricks you into thinking there's something wrong when there's not.

Considering the speeds that your TL can get to, and the temptation to use all that horsepower, your best bet is to go to a tire shop and have it checked. Probably they won't charge you, but even if you spend $10, it would be a good investment which could prevent an accident, injury, or loss of life.

Please look on the inside lip of the rim too, I hit a pot hole a few months ago and the outside lip of the rim was fine but the inside of the rim was dented and I replaced the rim. Better safe then sorry. Big pothole on the GCP.

Is turning the wheel all the way to the left or right the best way to check the inside lip of the rim without taking the wheel off?
Should I be worried about the suspension also?

yes I turned the wheel and kept moving the car up slowly to check and sure enough I found the dent on the inside lip. I took it to the dealer they checked the suspension the tire and the rim. They said the suspension was okay and the tire was okay, but said the rim had to be replaced. The dent was not that bad to me, but I didnt want to take a chance.
