Model: Mini Picadilly
Year: 1986
Description of problem (please be as in depth as possible): I hit a kerb at about 5mph in the snow and was wondering what to look for that may be broken. I think my cars fine (apart from the tracking and the big dent in my shiny new 7 x 13" minilites :D ).

I would be checking that you aint bent a tie rod, bottom arm or any of the steering components.
Also check to see that you aint bent the subframe, not likely at such a low speed but you never know.

i wouldnt have thought you would have damaged them, but pull the carpets back in the footwell and check there is no creases around subframe mounts
