Right front tire hit a curb-suspension damage?
Leaving a store I hit a curb with my left front tire, going about 3 mph. Felt horrible. No damage present, wheel and tire are fine. Took the car on the highway, all seems fine. Looked at the suspension under the hood and under the car, nothing is bent or scraped. Do you guys think I messed something up?

As long as you didn't exceed shock travel or put a lateral load through the spindle & A-arms, everything should be fine.

Is the steering wheel still in the correct position? You could measure toe easily and pretty much 'eye-ball' camber.
**only you know where the steering wheel was orientated when driving on a 'straight and level' highway!! Drive it in some familiar surroundings.

You are good. 3 mph is a whole lot of nothing. Unless you are getting shimmies and vibration at speed you did no damage.
Now if you are OCD (like me) you can get an alignment, but you would be wasting your time.
Save your money and get some cold beer and quality BBQ
