With the ever increasing pot holes, N/S Gutter drains, ruts, Road manholes, do you know if your car is safe? not everyone is fit enough to get under their car to check, but is your car safe? what would be the outcome if your car caused an accident & it was found to be unsafe without you been aware of a damaged part, could you get sued?
If the steering is okay I assume that the wheels and steering hasn't been affected by the pothole or whatever.
If I hear a nasty noise when I hit a pothole (I try not to) I do put the car on the ramps and have a look underneath.
You can only be sued if you ignored evidence that your car might have been damaged - and it can be proved that you should have known.
Ivor, I can honestly say, my car is checked every W/End including Pressures, although the car has Tyre Pressure wheel sensors I still check, it may be it's the way I am + I have the time to do it.
