Default Bad crash, need help!

Hey guys,

Was involved in a crash recently, a pretty bad one where my car hit the pavement and ran over a signboard. Everything has been fixed though and ma 3GS is running good, other than vibration i noticed at around 80kmph (abit shy of 60mph i.e.). I got my alignment done but the vibration woudnt stop, i took it back at the shop n the guys there were like my tie rod (not sure if its inner) has been damaged due to the hit and hence the alignment problems.

Just wanted to know what you guys think. is it really the tie rods or something else?

check to see if your rims are cracked. if you got it fixed you might have some bent arms, rods and bad bushings up there.

I'd check the lower ball joint as well...besides the tie rod and wheels.

from the looks of it, the front anti-sway bar might be bent
