flying rx-8

i know everyone is probably going to get on me for doing such a horid thing with my car... but i got a little carried away shifting form gear to gear and i didn't notice the dip in the street... anyway my car flew and i scratch the bottom of my bumper. not too bad since its just the black plastic part and you can't see it unless you look under the car. anyway on to my question... do you think this little fiasco of mine messed up the suspension or alignment in anyway? i havent noticed anything but maybe something could go wrong. i just want to know if there's anything i should look for.

You may be ok. Just take hands off wheel for a second and see if alignment is off any

remember that the road camber can sometimes make you think that your tracking is faulty.

Take it to the service bay at you local Mazda dealer. If worded properly, wheel alignments in the first 7500 miles of a new car are covered under warranty.

Just say you just got time to bring it in, but it has been doing this the whole time you owned it. The plastic damage -- be suprised when you see it, or repair it before.

I was told when I bought the car that one adjustment would be covered under warrenty in the first year or 12,000 miles. He said if nothing was done then just get the wheels aligned. I don't know what other adjustments I would have done besides alignments but that was what I was told.
