Accident damage?

Some crazy fool tried to drive underneath my truck tonight... maybe $1000 in body damage but what I am concerned with is the rear end.... my rear tire gave the "opponent" about a dozen doughnuts on the side of his car.... Visibily there appears to be no damage to the rearend and the wheels seem to roll straight.... should there be something specific I should ask the repair place to check in the drive line?

I wish I had a camera to take pictures at the scene.... really very little damage to the truck when compared to the Acura that hit me..... yal' would have gotten a kick out of the doughnuts.... and his side looked like a crushed beer can...

If the tires are rolling straight and there is no wobble, odds are its fine...

Since its someone elses insureance footing the bill, have EVERYTHING checked out.

I would definately have the truck get a 4 wheel alignment to make sure you didn't move the axle over from the pressure.
