I went over a huge hum in an intersection, flew in the air and landed on all fours. I know my alignment is knocked out and I'm getting that fixed today. Do you guys think anything else could have been damaged? Shocks, struts, anything. I'm pretty worried right now.

Not sure about damage but I bet that made your stomach sink! Ouch, I hope it's all good and just needs some minor tweaking. How are your rims? any dents???

Catching air like looks pretty cool on TV. But, one good jump and the car is trashed. There's a good chance that you have some significant damage.

If they can get it aligned easily, you're probably OK. But if they have to make significant changes to one side and not the other, you're probably toast. Be sure and talk with the tech before the alignment and let him know what happened.

you might want to check with your insurance company. ive also hear that some cities will reimburse you for damages due to pot holes and stuff as long as they are not new and have been reported previously.

i myself ran over a big chunk of concrete that had been knocked loose and was laying in the road. the hit sounded pretty hard and i was upset. though later i could not find any mark where it had hit.

I would definitely have the tech. check the car's suspension to make sure nothing was bent or broken. It is pretty easy to break the stock Mustang suspension. I bent the passenger side tie rod by curbing my car when I first got it.

You should be able to tell if anything is too seriously wrong just by the way the car drives. If it wants to pull to one side, has a shimmy when you are driving, bucks when you take off or slow down, seems to have a small "lag" of sorts, harder to steer, less responsive etc. etc. Their are several tell-tale signs to suspension problems.
