Front end vibration
I hit a nasty unmarked sink-hole last night (thanks city of Houston). I've checke the wheels and there seems to be no damage. When I reach about 35 mph the car gets a pretty nasty vibration. Could this just be a wheel knocked out of balance, or could it be much worse? Basically, I'm looking for options to tell the shop what to look for. Thanks!

maybe knocked a weight loose....can you see anysigns of where one was mounted? If you see no other damage probably just needs rebalanced...

Ok, after an alignment and tire balancing, the vibration has lessened but it's still very obvious. What should I tell them to check next?
Thanks for any suggestions. 8 months of ownership and 9 trips to the shop. I think the car might be cursed.
