Default suspension probs

Ok boys,
I was coming back to school from Ft. Myers when I had to pull off the side of the road to wait for a friend to catch up. Well when I did this I hit a pot hole pretty hard. I didnt hit the frame but definately hit solid on the suspension. Now my car shakes between 65-80. Beyond 80 it is fine. I am riding on del sol alloys and the suspension is bone stock. What should I look to first as to being the problem.

3rd that

To double check rotate the suspect tire to the opposite corner of the car to see if the vibration changes or goes to that corner and while they are off visually inspect them for damage.

Bent rim or if your lucky one of tires is just off balanced after the pot hole. Probably bent a rim though.

I also agree with everyone, about the bent wheel or something bent in your

suspension area.
