hit a nice pothole and now the car shakes...

well tuesday i hit a good pothole in the dark coming out of the airport, only my front driver wheel hit, the rest i avoided, but now at various speeds the steering wheel shakes, so does the car, at times it gets violent, at times u dont feel it, it started to shake at around 20mph, then goes all the way to 90mph....recently changed lower bjs/uppber bjs wit camber kits, hopefully the wheel just got knocked out of balance, but what else could the issue be?

Check to see if your rim is bent.

^ +1. I was driving on a bent front right rim and the shaking was horrible at anything over 80.

~Cheers~

potholes my butt. You guys have craters... Im lucky i was able to avoid them on 90 between Rockford and Elgin area. I saw one swallow up a semi tire and blow it out right infront of my eyes.
