So what should you watch for after a collision? Listen to your car. Grinding sounds, squeaking brakes, or rattling could mean bent parts inside. Does your steering feel different or does the car drift to one side? That points to alignment trouble. Puddles of fluid under your vehicle or new lights on your dashboard are also signs that something was damaged in the crash.
