So, while cruising along on one of our many wonderful roads here in MA, I hit a deep pot-hole, blind, at about 40mph (passenger side). Now, I've got a significant front-end wobble; it's at its worst from 10 - 25mph, and makes the car wobble like the tire is flat-spotted. The car shakes up to about 40mph, and then there is no shaking or wobble until +/- 65mph; above 70mph, there is no shaking at all, no wobble at all.
I inspected the wheel and it doesn't appear to be bent, and the tire doesn't show any bumps, lumps, etc. I'm taking it in to have it looked at, but I wanted to get thoughts on what to have them look at. I think maybe I bent a rim, but I would be interested in hearing if anyone's done this and bent a control arm, and produced symptoms like this.
Cliffs: hit a pot-hole at 40mph, now have a crazy low-speed wobble, wondering if it's bent rim or bent control arm, etc.
