Angry got hit today

I was driving to work this morning and as I crossed an intersection a Dodge Sundance hit an icy part of the road and he slammed on my front right wheel. His car bounced off my truck and ended up in a 3 ft snow bank. His left front fender has a big dent and he left a pretty good scratch on my hub cover (very surprised that it did not break, it was a hard collision).

Should I be worried about my front suspension or the axle for that matter? The trruck drives great like it was never hit. Any ideas or comments will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'd take it to a good alignment shop and have them check everything out. I'd then go and have the front wheel balanced to make sure it's not bent or nothing.

I'd be most worried about damage to the wheel bearings. If the hit put a ding in the race or mashed one of the *****, it might take several thousand miles for things to get chewed up enough for you to notice a problem.
