Someone Who Knows a Lot about Cars, Please

Okay, I was driving home with my sister and I jumped a kerb (i.e. a "curb") while going around thirty mph. The kerb wasn't high, but we felt it all right. Right after the incident we thought we heard some clicking sounds coming from the vicinity of the wheel. So I pulled over and we inspected the area around the wheel in question, and nothing looked wrong. The car drives the way it normally does and the alignment is okay as well. The sounds seemed to stop immediately, and in hindsight people always start noticing noises when something bad happens even if those noises were there before the incident. And it's possible that the sounds weren't coming from the wheel at all. The car brakes fine too.

The thing is, I'm still worried about it. I will be taking it on the highway tomorrow to see if anything is wrong with it at speeds above 45 mph. So anyone reading this who knows about cars, should I be worried? Please let me know, anyone.
