alignment would be a start.
And then check to see if you bent the rim

Cheers

I would say you bent your rim AND need an alignment. But ya, alignment first. Maybe you didn't bend the rim.

I don't really see how you did this, though.

So you hit the curb then go 75 to see if something is wrong. Kinda seems stupid to do before checking it out to me.

Have the car checked by a competent mechanic.

I would sell the car and buy a corolla. then you won't have to worry about it ever happening again.
