This is good information I was out drifting in the snow last night in the Jeep and jumped the curb instead of smacking into it and side loading the suspension it's the best thing to do!

Thank you for the advice on hitting the curb with your tire, not your rim. I honestly never thought of it before and I have hit curbs in the past. One of those instances really messed up the van I was driving and totaled the vehicle!

Doing donuts in a parking lot always leads to a little curb bash.

Hit a curb yesterday night going about 30 in my 2013 civic coupe.
Popped my tire. Was worried that something else might be damaged but I guess not. Gotta new tire replacement today. $97...

Very smart video, well edited and quickly presented!

Some people just try to avoid the obstacle at all costs, and slide into it. I've been in the situation of sliding with a curb coming up fast, got real lucky with good judgement and saw a lowered part of the curb and I aimed for that. Had to drive part way down the road on the side walk to someones drive to come off, much better than damage to the car.

Always wanted to know the specific parts to inspect - Now I know.
Many the way from London !

My car contineously slipped in ice during a normal left turn at an intersection and hit the curb on the front right wheel. But at a very low speed probably 10 to 15 kmph. the wheel was full turned towards the left which positioned it parallel to the oncoming curb. it hit towards the sideways. Im wondering at what speed can we expect what level of damage.

Outstanding report and review on this type of incident.  Two thumbs up !

I've unfortunately hit many curbs during the last past months that I've been licensed. I had a really bad curb collision today which ripped apart my splash shield! I think there may have been some bumper damage too but I'm not entirely sure. Curbs are the WORST!! Sometimes they're in the most inconvenient places and appear to just pop out of nowhere.

Hit a curb today going about 20mph but not a side impact but about a 15 degree angle from the curb. Shook the 2006 Silverado pretty good but don't appear to be any visible damage. I'm sure trucks are more likely to survive curb hits more than a car would.

Thank you. Got put off the road by 4x4 who didn’t see me (lowered Mr2) smashed into kerb as only real damage limitation option available. Great video ! Ty for sharing your knowledge 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[Don.Challenger]

Good to know so into the toolbox with this. Brian and family have a great Christmas and all the best for a safe, happy and profitable new year.

[OnTarget]

So well explained, thank you so much, unfortunately I spun out at 80Km and hit the kerb. About to fix my Subaru Impreza myself. Thanks once again.

[AshTheFriendlyNeko]

Yep, been there.. Bent a wheel and busted a tie rod. Probably left a few other parts worse off too. Pretty sure the control arm was just slightly outta whack from then on. Being young and dumb and trying to show off won't get you far xD

[stevianz]

Great video, just what I was looking for.

[Notjobincome]

can the ball joint also be damaged? I ran over side of a curb while turning at around 10mph. I do hear a squeaky noise when i turn my wheels but it disappears when it is cold out. Also my car shakes when I speed up while my steering wheel shakes too.

[carlosmatos]

I slid into a curb last week after it snowed. I went around a corner, and the front end just broke free and kept understeering until... bam! My blizzaks failed me, lol. I think I might have got lucky and just bent the lip of the rim a little, but thanks for posting. I know what to look for now when I pull the wheel off :)

[warhero]

My dad did this last year. He bent a wheel and thats all he replaced. There is more definitely bent. The tire wore in an octagon shape. Tried to tell him but talking to him is like talking to a brick wall. He hit the curb last year and he is still driving it like that with a bad tire
