Just got into an accident please help!

This bus side swiped my right hand side fender messing it up, and take out my right hand side mirror, it was my fault I tried to squeeze by, but we didn't call the police. But now my wheel is shaking badly, could it be the alignment, balance, or suspension, my car was stopped at the bus was going no more than 3-5 MPH I'm praying it's the wheel. What would you say? I just need one new Z3 Fender, and one LED side mirror. I don't know who'll give me one. Guys help me out here . Man this sucks!

Take it to get the claim to fix it, I'm hoping you have insurance and he has one too? I defenetily get it checked out, you are not driving an american boat so anything could be messed up just from slight hit

Can it be suspension related? What are the symptoms of suspension related problems?

it could be whatever realated, ****ed up bearing and **** like that. Bent unibody I would seriously file a claim and just have it behind you. Since you are not responsible for the accident I don't know what's stopping you. Get like a warranty on the work incase something goes with it too.

Yeah you're right I should've just waited for the bus to start moving rather than me squeezing by. I can't file a claim because I do not have full insurance. I will just purchase another single piece Z3 Fender, OEM Mirror, and LED Mirror and get it done from the same body shop I always go to. As for my steelie being bent I'm thinking about some Moda R6's or Mille Migilia EVO 5's.

Keep in Mind that I was stopped and the bus was moving adjacent to me and it was my fault for trying to squeeze by and not making it in time, my fender is scratched up with some minor dents in it, and my wheel took some damage too. Luckily (All Praise Be To God) I have not noticed any suspension related issues, just a woobling steering wheel because of the bent rim.

While I was stopped bus was moving at a maximum of 3-5MPH.

Go to a shop that has a free estimate. They'll tell you what's wrong and how much it'll be to fix

You HOPE it's on account of the bent rim. . .

Get it on an alignment rack - only way to tell if the suspension was dinged -(beyond obviously noticeable damaged suspension parts)
