Question Hit a curb and now car vibrates

So I hit a curb going pretty fast. I messed up both passenger wheels, I got my new wheels today. I got 4 different new ones, so I took my old tires because they were still good, and the tire shop put the tires on the wheels and balanced them. I brought them home and put them on. I take it the car first thing in the morning to get the other two put on, aligned, and all that good stuff.

Well after putting the wheels on I drove the car to see if it drove okay. No, it doesn't. I couldn't even get it passed 55 because it shook so bad. You can barely even keep it on the road. I'm thinking control arm, but I am not really sure. I'm getting it checked in the morning, hopefully the tire shop will find whats wrong with it. But what do you guys think it is?

A dedicated suspension shop should be able to find the root of the problem. Definitely sounds like something is bent, rather than wheels that are not properly balanced or something.

Something on your suspension is bent, when you get your alignment they should be able to tell what's damaged and replace it....Gary

Could be a lot of things.

My bet is on damaged tie rods.
