    Last winter i collided with a pole in mid air during a blizzard going aprox 35mph I own a 1994 grand prix se coupe 3.1sfi before this happened i had my car aligned and balanced and it did not shake once so ever. I got the car fixed only body damage according to them. But the main problem is that it shakes at 55+ and any bump i hit is multiplied by 3 compared to what it used to be. I'm thinking bent rim, alignment, balancing or shocks and or struts.

    Any Help would be appreciated

    yeah, get an allignment and check for broken parts. and un balanced tires will shake and cause very odd feelings if they are that bad.

    don't forget motor mounts! lol.

    but for real, make sure you check for broken parts or worn parts BEFORE the alignment, as that will ensure the most correct alignment. and from what 98% of people tell me, alignments won't do jack donkey for a vibration unless the tracking is SERIOUSLY off.

    take it to a shop that has a GSP 9700. you can google that and find local shops that do.
    this machine can test for wheel runout, tire runout, and give you a dynamic balance opposed to a standard balancing machine. this way we can rule out the wheel/tire as a whole and move onto other components as the culprit.
