I was pulling out of a drive thru window and didn't even see the darn curb. Felt like we were crossing the dang Grand Canyon!
We were coming home from the beach and the car did fine all the way home. Looked underneath and didn't see any damage, but what do I know? Should I take it in to get it checked? It's a 2007 Toyota Camry.

You could have bent the rims, damaged the tires, knocked the front end out of alignment.
I doubt if it did any damage since the car drove fine. However, I would keep an eye on the tires for a week or two and see if you develop a bubble on the side wall. If the car will track straight without pulling to one side, then the alignment may be OK. If you do start to notice some tire wear, then take it to an alignment shop and get it corrected. good luck.

If you went up a curb with only two wheels of one side of the car, check the wheels and tires themselves. If there's no damages to the wheels, I wouldn't worry about it. I have seen tires end up flat from rubbing a curb, so that's something to watch out for.

The biggest thing is the axle. But you will usually feel it when driving, especially in the steering wheel. You can get it check if u want or if you are nervous. I wll tell you I had a 88 Honda Civic which rides very low, and I had to replace the axle a few times. It is expensive

Check for uneven tire wear. If you bent something you won't know it unless you take it to an alignment shop. You can check for uneven tire wear (for example the inside edge of a particular tire is worn more than the outside edge.)

Look for a guy that does frame straighting--in the phone book and he is the expert on front end junk. Back also...Toyota may not have that kind of skilled person...

If there's no visible damage and you didn't hear any odd noises or have any troubes driving it than just leave it alone. It's fine.
