So this happened immediately after you had some half-*** shop install some new tires on your ride? Take it back tell them to balance the wheels again.
Second option...bent wheel. Happened to me.

accident happen to any car even the cheapest brand/model you have,the thing is if you have a bad rim,replaced it or if you have a bad wheel balance that might cause shaking,bring it back to the shop you've been to and demand for a wheel balance.

A few other ideas: The most obvious to me would be the car needs an alignment. Next, I'm assuming your tires are not worn on the inside or out? And finally, I had one vehicle with this problem where the ball joint was shot.

after accident
idk if you guys remember but i had a hit and run maybe 6 months ago. damage was to the driver side fender and slashed the tire. i had the fender and tire replaced . BUT NOW THERE IS A SHAKING i feel when going around 70-80mph . I had them balanced checked if they were bent and also alignment done twice. i need some help any advice im going crazy and im getting the run around
Not an AWD with same front/rear tires would it? I'd recommend somehow to switch out the wheels/tires for some know good ones to see if the shaking goes away. Sounds exactly like what happened to me with a slightly bent rear wheel.

a little assistance
so the vibration continues with the left driver side wheel
no bent rim
no bent hub
all bushing are good
so i thought it would be a hub centric ring
well no so much
vibrates at 80mph .?
any assistance just to figure it out
