Same thing happened to me not to long ago, now the car pulls a little to the left, but nothing really major. No body damage, just the rim hit the curb. I will definitely have to look under the car though from what everyone else says. Hopefully all is ok

As of right now the body damage (front bumper) is going to cost $1600.00 and its in another shop today to get everything else checked. They think there is something wrong with the Transfer case, its whining really bad.

So far: body - $1600; Wheel - $600; and New set of tires - $450

Having my car back - priceless

Why not just get an OEM 9 bumper from the dealership? Or get one of a totaled car or something.

Final update:

Body damage: $1600
Wheel: $700
Tires: $800
Transfer case: $5000

Total cost to insurance: $8100

Good news is, I get a stage 3 Shep T-case, MR wheels, and a Evo 9 bumper for $500 (deductable)

I just had a fender bender with a sign last week. I was probable going less than 5mph, but I cringed as the car slid into the sign. It was my fault, because I knew I needed to remove the summer tires I had on and replace them with winter tires. I drove to my destination and looked the car over and saw no visble damage to the fenders, thank God, but as I looked closer I noticed that my bumper had a 6" dia scratch.

Now, that i have winter tires on I can stop, make turns and take off without the car going sideways.

Thats not bad man. I'm in similar situation now... My front bumper is damaged and my hood has a little ding in it... some girl that was late for her DUI class crossed me when she was making left turn ... Her insurance is going to quote me on Wed... Good time to put some aftermarket body part on my car (bumper , hood) but I havent find anything reliable and durable. What you did with your car? ....
