Car is shaking..?

Question

hi! 
so i hit a couple pot holes 2 weeks ago, & ever since, my car has been acting funny. it starts to aggressively shake when i hit 45+ miles but it comes and goes. not sure if hitting the pot holes messed up the alignment. the whole front of my car starts to shake, my seat & steering wheel. i drive on a highway, to & from work & i get nervous bc i don’t know how serious this could be. could it be the alignment? or something else? i’m taking it to firestone today to get it looked at, & i’m hoping it’s nothing serious..

It happened to me a few times, and the potholes caused the axles to go out of alignment.  It will cost $100 - 150 for a shop to perform this service.

TIRES are OUT OF BALANCE! This is a FREE repair at BELLE tire and DISCOUNT tire! OR/AND your TIE ROD ENDS are BAD! You can test this yourself with a friend! WITH ENGINE OFF< have someone tip the STEERING WHELL BACK and FORTH while you put your HAND on the tire! if you sense a POPPING or HESITATION or a CLUNK< you have TIE ROD issues!

Since 2 weeks ago?  Well, just keep on driving it and maybe it will heal itself.

It’s realignment. I had the same problem with my CRV. After realignment it was less noticeable.

I sounds like you jarred something loose under the  hood.
