weirdness after slide/spin

Other day coming home from work in the nice days of rain we've had, it ended up in a nice slide and spin coming out of a toll booth. Since, the car seems to feel a bit odd, and it's very hard to explain the feeling. Also think the alignment or something is off now as well as it seems to pull to the left.

Planning to put the car on jacks this weekend but curious if anyone else as been in the same situation and/or what you thing I should look out for.

I've pulled the alignment out on a car when I slid on a banked turn at an SCCA meet in Cali years ago. Basically I took a banked turn with just a hair to much speed, the rear end broke loose for a split second and pulled the car up the bank. This knocked out tow on the vehicle. Not exactly the same situation but not completely different.

I suppose if the alignment cams arent torqued down enough then it isn't all too difficult to throw the car out of alignment with a good amount of stress.
