I know this is the incident we all try to avoid, but i guess it happens ....

what happens to the wheel? rotors? or axle? when the car falls/rolls off the jack stand and on to the ground (with no tire on)
does it cause serious damage?

will it make either of the above bent, twisted, or out of align?

i suppose you have already done this , well any way, hear goes first make sure you can get the tire on straight if not do not!!!! put it on you can damage the wheel barrings if you can get the tire on straight find a flat road it should be at least 1quarter mile excelerate slowly and take your hands off the stirring wheel see if car is pulling to either side if so you need an alignment also listen for grinding sound when excelerating and braking if you here this you my need brake work could be something as simple as having your brakes adjusted, keep us informed of your results.......;tl
