control arm damage?

like a dumb f i hit a fing curb when making a right turn at low speeds (cant really what speed it was, id imagine 15 mph?) my front passenger rim hit the curb and bounced away.. visually inspecting the rim, theres a scratch thats not too deep, and the both front tires appear to be angled outward towards the bottom symmetrically.. when i hold the steering wheel center the car goes straight, but i havent found a straight enough road to try driving and letting go altogether.. i imagine the 'bounce' after i hit is a good thing as it means it gave, but are there any other tell tale signs of suspension damage,etc?

can anyone in the NJ recommend a shop for me to go to?


thank you all

i have span out and hit the curb over 15mph at the time of impact and a good chunk of my forged OEM wheel chipped off. I thought i had suspension damage but i got off easy because all i had to do is re-align the car. My steering wheel at the time was completely off-center.
