So driving along and a coyote flies out in front of me and I hit its rear hip. When i got out and looked at the bumper it was caved in at the very bottom towards the passenger side and the grill was kinda messed up. The bumper poped backed out while i was looking at it (on its own) i was able to pull the grill back in place. The only visible damage is a couple broken pieces on the grill and some paint chips.

What im wondering is is their anything else i need to worry about? The car doesn't make any weird noises or leak any fluid.

If its not leaking or making any weird noises, I wouldnt worry about it man. I know it comes to mind when things like that happen, but you should be alright. Just check for leaks and stuff regularly.

Where do you live lol. Passenger side right? shouldn't have any worries. Drivers side you probably would've had to replace the air pump

crank

Clean living paid off, that could've been disastrous at that speed. Check for blood or any other organic material in your grill. Once hit a bird and didn't realize it lodged inside my bumper, until a few days later.

Must have just brushed it for so little damage. I was following a Merc in my S, it was dark, just about to pull out to pass when the Merc brake lights came on, I braked just as hard and both of us stopped, I got out to see the Merc driver, who was wearing a dark suit covered in white dust from the airbag that went off, his front end was smashed in, headlight smashed, grill, fender and hood all buckled. He hit a dog, we were doing about 60mph.
