it seems to be fine, nothing really out of the ordinary. i mean a car isnt supposed to go straight forever without holding on to the steering wheel. i dont seem to notice a heavy shift to the left or right of the car. no grinding or anything like that. tires seem fine. so maybe ill just go with the flow and just be more careful. i guess thats what everyone can only do.

I work at a Mitsu dealership, and I don't want to make Mitsu look bad, but if you jump a curb and damage your car, the mechanics *may* laugh at you when you're not around.
Also, more importantly, they won't cover that under warranty. It's the same as asking "if I buy a new car, and the next day I t-bone another car, is that covered under warranty?
Sorry if this sounds kinda brutal, but I don't sugarcoat things

Realistically, this car should be able to handle hitting a curb at 10mph without any issues at all other than your having a bruised ego and curb rash on the rims if you're unlucky. I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Mine has endured alot more. The only thing breaking is the crappy plastic covers underneath the car. I'm thinking I should pay for a custom made alu-plate before the next winter cause even the plastic that's supposed to hide the oil filter is nowhere to be found
