Default rear wheel kissed curb...

I was driving in an underground parking lot and the lot as dark as hell, i was making a turn very slowly already (going no faster than 10-12km) and as i turned i felt the s2k's ass wiggle a bit (which then i knew i mightve kissed the curb).

Only the rear passenger's side wheel slightly grazed the curb, the curb rash is very very minor but being paranoid as I am, do you think I damaged anything mechanically?

i drove for a while to see if i misaligned anything and doesn't seem so, no strange noises.

I doubt it. I've had much worse cases of curb rash without issues. You can take it in if you're truly worried.

A pedestrian breathed on my car wrong today at an intersection and my diff blew. Think it's time for 4.77s?

I had a love bug hit my windshield when I was going about 80mph. He must have been going 5-10mph towards me for a combined total of about 85-90 combined mph. my neck is kinda sore also. Should I get it checked?


Lol, just teasing.
