Right side Vibration above 50mph ?

Hello,

Last week I hit a curb and bent my right side rim. Right after the incedent I could hear a loud hum noise and could feel a vibration form the right side above 50mph as I limped home. (No beer involved )

I got the rim fixed, The jerk painted it when I told him not to TWICE   A new tire and balance. But I still have the same vibration as before ?

I took the wheel off and checked all the connections seem fine. I jacked the strut level and ran the car in drive and the rotor spun true ? The only thing I saw that didnt look right to me was the drive axle look as if it had a wobble ?  I dont think I hit that hard to bend the axle ?

What would be your best guess in what the problem may be ?

Thank you,
CRaig~

you may have ruined the hub assembly, bent a tie rod, bent an a-arm, etc.

did you have it aligned?

Hello,
No I didnt have it aligned yet. It now pulls to the right just a little.

Thanks,
