If you smacked the curb (or anything else) hard enough to set off TCS lights, you need to get the front steering and suspension inspected for damage. It might be as trivial as a sensor knocked out of place or it could be the front wheel about to fall off. And there's a good chance that you knocked things out of alignment. Any good tire/alignment shop should be able to perform an inspection.

Yes. But don't be driving hard until you get things checked out.

You might have damaged a wheel bearing assembly when you hit the curb. The wheel sensor is part of the assembly.


On a side note, why would you even consider driving a car after hitting a curb?
