Jumped the Curb Should I be Worried?

Jumped the Curb Should I be Worried?
Well gonna make a long story short... I was sleeping in a parking lot waiting for my gf to come outside. As I woke back up to drive off, I forgot that the few spots where I was parked had curbs in front of the spots while the others did not . Basically I drove right over the curb... not an island or anything just a thin strip of concrete. I got back home and check .. basically some scratches on my underbody and since my exhaust hit my aftermarket bumper it chipped the paint. Luckily my lip and bumper are urethane so it took the blow quite well. Header got a little scrape but no dents.
Just wondering if I should be concerned about anything that might go wrong after doing something stupid like this. I will get my alighment checked, but can this damage my axles, ball joints, or anything like that? Just so paranoid now that its not driving right (but it may just all be in my head)

when u go in for an alignment, they will usually tell you if any of the suspension parts are damaged....maybe the arm has to be pushed forward at max.
other damage could include a leaking oil pan, (had that happen to my other car,.... OMG oil everywhere) or pulled/pushed exhaust pipes, or ripped a hole in the pipes etc. those sort of things.
best bet is to get it on a hoist, or go to a Mr. Lube and inspect from underneath, if they let u go down there.

Well I'll get it checked out under a hoist this weekend. I have an aftermarket exhaust and its pretty strong, It had no dents or leaks. But I don't really know how to check for pulls so I'll have that done as well. Oil Pan has a tiny dent in it, but I think that was there before so no big issue there. Thanks for the suggestions
