Help

Tonight on my way home from work I hit a small log on the highway at 75 mph that was laying on the road around a blind curve where there were no streetlights.

Now my car drives with a vibration that makes the steering wheel shake and the vibration can be heard at highway speeds???

What possibly is wrong? Suggestions please... So I know where to tell them to look at the dealer in the morning.

You might have damaged the tire or the wheel. check for bubbles on the tire. you might have knocked off one of the balancing weights. check and see if there are any missing (you won't know how many there were but there might be a mark where one was).
