2010 gts and hit the curb

Alright so I just bought a 2010 Mitsu Lancer GTS, I needed to go over to the dealership and sign a few more papers, and on my way there on the part of town I dont know and being dark, I decided to make a turn that was a turn for the other side of the road. Idk why I decided to do this but I did and doing so at like 25mph hit the 4-6inch curb in the center with my right tire. Under the car there is a plastic shield thing and little mud flaps on it in front of the tires. I broke that back no big deal being plastic. But the thing that Im worried about is that it could have cause some damage to the right front suspension. Driving my car it doesnt seem to pull to the side at all and everything seems tight, stays straight and doesnt pull when I break either. But I mean I did hit it hard enought to cause my intrument panel to freak out and tell me I lost traction. Idk is there anything I should look at that might be bent, cracked, or broken. Any advice would be amazing. Thanx

Dont fill out the rest of the paper work and get a "different color"



But just have someone check it or jack it up and do a check to make sure everything looks the same as the other side .

if anything you might have cracked your control arm. I did something similar during the first month of having the car, except i hit the curb at 80+mph and it was my back passenger side lol

I had a traction light go off on mine after hitting a curb. Just take it to the dealer they will clear it and check over it.
