Hey I need a little help here before I go bring the car in. I hit some ice and slid sideways into a sidewalk. I have no visual damage, but someone stopped me yesterday while I was driving to tell me that my driver side front wheel was shaking while I was driving.

What could this be? Alignment? Balance? Axle?


Thanks

Tighten your lug nuts and check if the weight used for tire balancing is gone are the first two things I would check.

Lugs are good, I'll check for the weight good idea. Thanks!

swap the wheel to the back and see if the vibration follows the wheel or stays.

You might as well get the wheel rebalanced it can't be more that like 10 bucks and it could be an easy way to save excess wear on parts. So just out of curiosity do you feel a vibration or is it just that someone told you that it looks like you have one?
