bad vibration on left side.

so here's the story. i'm driving and merging from one interstate to the next in the morning when the car in front of me brake checks me. it was early so i freaked and slammed on my brakes locking them up and i hit the wall. here it is:

- NO body damage!
- only the right wheel hit the wall at about 20-25mph..
- all 4 wheels have been refinished and balanced
- no visible bends on suspension
- car has had an alignment

my problem is that i still have a vibration. i can feel it in the car with every rotation of the wheel and hear a soft clunking noise as well(coming from the side i hit). i can only hear this inside the cabin though. nothing when i roll down the windows. and its more noticiable on fresh paved roads and freeway driving. you on what it may be?

When you say the wheels have been refinished, you mean like repainted? Because one of them may be bent, causing the vibration. I would take it to another shop and get a second opinion on bent frame or suspension pieces.
