Wheel vibration

I hit my right wheel on a curb at a decent speed a while back. I would notice vibrations on the right hand side, especially when taking left hand turns.

I replaced the wheel, wheel bearing and got an alignment. The car felt good for a couple weeks now I'm noticing the vibrations again.

Maybe the vibrations never fully went away, and I'm just noticing them now, but it seems to be worse at least.

Any ideas?

Wheel might need balancing, loose lug nuts, bad tire, or damaged suspension component/worn bushing.

Or maybe the new wheel is bad as well?

Likely blew up the lower control arm and/or the comp rod.

Okay thanks for the tips. I'm replacing the shocks so I'll have a look at those other components too.

Vibration while making a turn points towards a suspension issue! Defective wheel, tire or out of balance issue would vibrate any time your car reaches speed. I always suggest finding an independent brake/alignment shop in your neighborhood, suspensions are their business!
