Check all your front suspention components. Axle, tie rod, struts, etc.. Also, you could have knocked the wheel weights off. I would do the cheaper things first. i.e, wheel balance, then alignment, then front end pieces. Good luck.

If you hit a curb hard enough to bend a wheel you should have also replaced the hub and bearing.

Alignment issues do not cause vibrations.

Something is loose, bent or out of balance. Check your tie rods, both the inner and outter joints. Check your lower control arm & ball joint. Check your CV joints for play.

theres your answer i bent a rim this summer on a curb

i had to replace my hub and tie rod... and the rim of course
then get it aligned just for good measure... as alignment has no effect on vibration

Alignment done. Road Force done (balanced all 4 wheels, rims good, tires good) i did replace one wheel. If the problem is hub and tie rod, how much will it cost me?
