Evo hit curb :...( Help pls

Hello people

So today i was driving around a bend going down hill. I was probably going 5-10 mph and the car slide. The passenger side hit the curb. When i went out to check the problem, only the rim was scratched. :,,,( Then i drove the car a bit and the AWC service light came on, also the steering wheel is not align. For example, the car is only straight when it is 11 o'clock and 5 o'clock :,...(. When the steering wheel is 9 o'clock and 3 o'clock it feels like the car didn't turn.

Also the curb is lower than the front bumper so that is why there is no exterior damage.

Please give me advice.
I was thinking about calling insurance and tell them about the minor accident but if it is only alignment issue i will just take it in to mitsubishi :,(

Thanks :...(

Ok, further update, I just drove the car to 30mph and car does not seen to be wobbling. The only issue is that the steering wheel is not matching up the the actual steering.

There's a good chance that you've damaged your suspension on the passengers side, pull of the wheel and take a look for anything that is bent, broken or lose. If you're not sure take some pictures and post them up here, bent LCA seem common when hopping a curb. You may have gotten lucky and just knocked it out of alignment but it's doubtful.

One thread, please. I'm shutting this one and leaving the other one, because the other has more replies.
