Default ran off the road need help solving

hey guys so about a week ago a guy ran me off the road and made me hit a guard rail. no major damage done to the z just the front bumper and radiator were damaged. now my question is what should i keep looking for in damage? i did an alignment and thats solved so should i look for wheel bearing damage? rotor damage? tie rods? and also I've noticed when ever i come to a complete stop my car does a clunk sound when stopping? and also when i take off in 1st the car rattles a bit? any help would be appreciated thanks.

Best bet is to take it to a reputable shop and have them checked out the car

Agreed^^ This isn't a question anybody can answer based on the OP's somewhat hazy description of the damage. Only a thorough physical inspection will reveal how much damage actually exists. Also, if you have collision insurance, this is the time to use it.

Your insurance should take care of any damage so you should only out your deductible.

As these cars become cheaper, alot of people will most likely only have liability insurance. So this isnt neccessarily true.
