Some Advice Needed

It was raining quiet heavily and was difficult to see. I was going 110 KMPH and I hit some small rock. The Tyre went flat after some kilometers. I got the tyre changed and drove home.

I am a bit unsure if there might be any damage to the car other than to the tyre itself. Steering or Suspension damage???

If any of you had such an experience, please tell me if anything happened to your cars.

I also wanted to ask another question since I wrote the earlier one. My Wipers do not clear the windscreen properly when there is a drizzle but they work well in a downpour. Any ideas as to what problem I may be having ?

My Right Front Tyre hit the rock but the car was having a tendency to steer very very slightly to the Left. Could the alignment be affected ? Also can this happen if the tyre pressure is different in both Front Tyres. The Right Front Tyre was the Spare Tyre so it was fully filled with Air but the other tyres had not been checked for pressures for atleast 2 weeks and today I had to leave in a hurry.

P.S. I own a Mercedes W124 250D E Class.

if you hit a "small rock" with enough force to knock the air out of the tyre or a W124, the rock had to be significant enought to damage the tyre itself.

i'll suggest you get your alignment done for sure and at the same time get all 5 wheels balanced as it probably has been a long time. while they are off you might as well get the pressure checked too.

Please get this work done regardless if you think it is pointless, prevention is better than cure.
