'Traumatizing' Incident

The other day while driving into a ToysRUs parking lot I unintentionally drove my pristine 2 month old Prius over a 5 foot-wide concrete sidewalk that was recently constructed by the store management in a grossly misguided attempt to prevent people entering the lot from making an immediate right hand turn. The interior
of this 'sidewalk' had not been poured and in effect was a 5" deep ditch filled with large rocks. The end result was that my car jolted over this curb, the ditch, and the opposite curve at about 20mph.

I pulled into a parking space and immediately checked out the car. I was amazed to find that there was no damage to the front air scoop or any other visible part. When I got home later that day, I put the car up on car ramps and checked the underside and suspension. Everything looked undamaged and as clean as a 2 month old car should look.

However, I'm now hyper-attuned to any impact in the car's driveability. It appears to me that the car feels slightly less 'smooth' when going over bumps and imperfections in roads, almost as if the suspension system is not quite as tight as it had been.

Is this possible, or is this most likely just the fact that I'm more attuned to the suspension now? If it is something real (and not imagined), what is most likely to be the cause (i.e. what is most likely to have been damaged) in this incident?

Thanks for all the reassurances. Took the car to dealership to check alignment and it was within specs
but they were kind enough to set it to 0.05 toe-in that I requested. Everything else appears to be in order.

I remain extremely impressed by this car. My first experience with Toyota products after being primarily a Honda person in past.
