Default Paranoid 991.2 GT3 question

Hey there everyone, I have a stupid/paranoid question; I went over a pothole and experienced a pretty intense bounce in the suspension (as is expected with more hardcore sports cars), but no clunks, noises, or anything like that, should I be worried about any potential damage or long term issue? The car drives fine and tracks straight.

Thanks everyone!

If you don't have a vibration or shimmy in steering wheel, then you probably didn't bend a wheel (that and tire damage would be my first concerns)

How would anyone be able to help with this without any details other than you hit a pothole?

Speed, what wheel, what part are you specifically concerned about. etc?

It it a car that is intended on being driven at the end of the day.

Yes, you should be extremely worried. Bring it to the Porsche dealer immediately and have them replace the entire suspension for piece of mind.

sorry for the critical feedback

I have driven Sebring at speed for several events.
Wheel damage and alignment are potentially of concerns but without steering wheel shimmy, you’re likely fine!

As long as you didn’t let the sun shine on it you’re most likely fine.

Sorry for the question everyone; sometimes my anxiety peaks and I realize I've asked a dumb question after I've already said it/posted it. I'll just continue to enjoy my car and stop worrying

Thanks everyone!
