What are some possibilities? '99 Cougar?

My car starts to shake violently when I hit between 50-60mph. The steering wheel shakes hard and I can feel the vibration coming from underneath (seems from the front passenger side). The vibration also gets worse if I take off the gas. There's also a humming or soft buzz noise when I accelerate.

This is the first problem that I've had with this car. It's never been in a wreck, although I hit a huge pot hole on the highway hard (HARD) a couple weeks back.

I'm taking it into the shop, but I'd like to know what it may be before I go in, and for each thing(s) it may be, how is it fixed.

Thanks!

    bunch of possibilities the main ones i can think of would be a bent or warped wheel,busted wheel bearing,or bent-busted cv joints if you hit that hole that hard you could have done some more damage as well those cars cant take any kind of hard hit.

    Alignment & a broken Engine Mount.

    all of the above and also the wheels may need to be rebalanced
