I was backing up and I think I hit the curb.

hi guys/gals,

I was trying to back up into my drive way and I missed the ramp. So my back wheel on my ML hit part of the curb (I did not miss the ramp completely just particially).

I was not going that fast, my foot was not on the gas, but the ML was cool so it was on high idle. I did not feel much when the back wheel when over the curve. The total curve heigth is about 4" and the part I went over is probally no more then 3".

I don't see any visible damages. But do you folks think I could have possible change the alignment. Or am I worry about nothing.

thanks

blau

can't notice anything different

can't notice anything different. But your alignment could be mest up and don't even notice.

If you’re worried by all means get it checked out. The suspension is pretty rugged so if there is nothing obviously at fault I wouldn’t be concerned. But that’s just me.

What are you worried about??

I don't understand your issue. You went over a 3 inch curb at idle speed? Did you know that the ML is off-road capable? I've gently climbed over rocks and logs without any concerns.
