Hit a curb and malfunction esp visit workshop
Hey guy another day another problem. Today in a morning i was driving and we just got our first snow and when I was making a turn I hit a curb (front left side ) may be 20 mp/h my rim and broken not bent it is broken. I put a spare tire on and while I was driving "malfunction esp visit workshop" message came up. My Stearing wheel kind of laying toward left all the time and it is really wierd feeling to drive... any ideas?

you have atleast buggered up your alignment. Most likely you have damaged your suspension a bit.
If you have non-stock rims, you may have a tire diameter that is larger or smaller than stock, and using the spare on one corner is throwing ESP off. You may have also screwed up a wheel sensor.
Long story short, you need to head to dealer or indie in the very near future.

I have a stock rims... I was thinking that it is alignemtn for sure I have s500 4matic. I think if I would have suspension damaged I would have a message come up. ESP message coming up not all the time... ones in a while. I think I will go check with dealer on monday.

well, keep in mind that your suspension is comprised of more than your air struts.
The control arms, knuckle, ball joints, and propeller shaft could all be damaged, and if you don't get it repaired, a misalignment could create problems.
Very hard to say without looking at the damage, but I hate to say that you could be looking at several thousand in damages.
