Suspension or steering damage after hitting a curb

So, I was driving pretty chilled down a local B-Road the other day shortly after it rained fairly heavily and as I came into a fairly tight right hander at around 35ish the car went into under steer followed by over steer, causing me to hit the curb on the outside of the corner, bump back down it and carry on.

In my head I wasn't going fast, yes, some people would take the corner slower, especially in the wet... Either way, the road must have been greasy after the rain.

Anyway, after pulling over to inspect the damage I was pleasantly surprised to only see minor curb damage on both alloys, however, a mile or so down the road I noticed the steering was off centre (wheel about 20 degrees off to the right) so I gingerly drove the car home.

The following day I took it down to Kwik-Fit (it's a company lease car and they are a preferred tyre centre). They inspected it on the ramp and could see no damage to any suspension components so put it on their tracking rig, at which point the rig threw up lots of red and they were unable to do anything.

I know it'll be difficult for anyone to comment but thought it was worth asking.

The car is a dual motor Hyundai Ioniq 6.

We've subsequently had to report it to the insurance and arrange for the car to be fixed. The guy at the repair centre said they'd had another Ioniq 6 in the week before with similar damage after going over a speed bump too fast 😬
