Fixed Bent Rim but now car shakes unimaginably above 50mph
hey guys..havent posted in a while...a week ago i got a flat and tried to change, but with the freezing temps we've had up here in the NE, while trying to take off the lugnuts on the wheel, i snapped one off with the bolt tryin to press down on the wrench with my body weight...so eventually i got everything off really slowly and took it to a tire shop and my rim was bent slightly and that was the cause of air leaking
So they fix the rim and everything, weld it back to shape and say the tire is fine...however after a week or so of driving, everytime im on the highway, the car shakes like crazzzyyy anytime over 50mph...the most around 70ish..and i dont mean a lil vibration...i mean the car feels like its gonna fall apart
so now im concerned, is this normal after trying to fix a bent rim?? is it the rim? is it that im missing one of the lugnuts?? my strut tops are actually blown too in the front but thats been like that for a few months, so it wouldnt be that cuz that didnt happen before...so wut can possibly be causing all the shaking? thanx for the help

Did you get the wheel re-aligned after getting the rim fixed? If not, that could be your problem as the previous alignment probably no longer applies to the new rim shape (even though it looks fixed and back to shape, it doesn't take much to put it off).
