Alignment question (again but different)

Yesterday I was out playing the the mud a bit, and I slid a little and my pasengerside front tire hit the side of a small ridge of dirt and mud, I wasn't going that fast but I kind of bounced off of it, just wondering if anyone thinks it may have messed up my alignment?
Thanks,
-Bryan

^ - Same as per above, unless you notice the bad boy starts steering on its own. Then you might want to get it aligned.

My just .02cent thought...

How far did you drive with current tires? If over 30000miles, you may consider to get a new set of tire.

How about the shock? It can be worn out after u drive it for 5~7years ( mean getting old)... become softten...may be need a new set of shock. OR need a new set of HD Coil spring.

May be Jay, Corey, Gadget and other expert can chim in here.

Bouncing off things with your tires is potentialy harmful to your vehicles steering system and alighnment. It doesnt take much to tweak your alighnment.

If you notice your steering wheel off center while driving straight, you know you tweaked it.
