pothole damage

I was driving home today, listening to my new exhaust (driving fast lol). and was going around a corner and hit a pothole that was a few inches deep. I there is no visible damage to the rim or tire but I feel like my car is wobbling a little bit.. I may just be paranoid or be feeling the rough streets more now that im looking for it.. but am I crazy.. what could have happened?

Sounds like you kicked the cars alignment out of spec.

O thank god.. I didn't even think of that.. I needed an alignment anyway so that's fine. I was just hoping I didn't wreck anything having to do with suspension.

While getting the alignment see if you can get them to throw the wheel (that hith the pothole) on the balancer just to make sure.

did you pull the wheel off and inspect everything? Ball joints, tie rods, the wheel itself?
