About 2 weeks ago, I impacted a curb with the right front wheel going fairly slow screwing around in the rain. It rashed my rim, however it doesn't appear to have done any structural damage to the wheel. The alignment on the other hand, was immediately and noticeably changed, with the steering wheel maybe 10 degrees off to the right. I had it aligned, and while the guy said that it was going to be fixable within tolerances, the camber on the right wheel was neutral or 0º degrees.

1 week ago, I hit the left front wheel, doing more stupidity, and it has knocked off the alignment, however it doesn't appear to have done as much damage, and unlike the right front, it did not impact the bottom of the wheel, just the outside of the rim. The car now pulls to the right, at the rate of a slow lane change, and sometimes seems to be more twitchy.

So, will my car forever have suspension issues? Should I go to the dealer or someone and have the camber adjusted? Is there a part or parts that I should preemptively replace? Do I need new wheels? Will my car use tires up at a faster rate? Should I even be worried?

Go to one where you can use the skidpad. Hitting two curbs within two weeks? That's just sloppy...

Hey...thanks for answering the question!

while your're there have the shop check for damage to the suspension on both the front sides.
Have them also check your front tires and wheels
for any defects or wear. Check your tire pressure
at least once a week.
It sounds like you need a good rain tire .
Also brake and downshift before the turn and take it easy on the gas around corners in the rain.
AWD doesn't mean you'll always hold the road.
I hope this helps.

I'd hate to see you have to ask this question all over again. Worse, I'd hate to see you injure yourself or someone else next time. Please learn some car control skills in a controlled environment.
