How much will a suspension repair cost?

I ran into a snow back today on my way to work going roughly around 15 mph.

After driving home from work, my steering wheel started to shake to the point where it was hard to control my car (2010 chevy cobalt).

It could either be a suspension problem or a front end alignment.

I know FEM's are cheap, but aren't suspension repairs expensive?

I am a 17 year old working at a hand car wash, I certainly don't make a lot of money to purchase a repair for my suspension(s)

How much would it cost??!

Update:

Harry, since I work at a hand car wash I was able to get the snow out of my wheel well, but there wasn't a lot, just like a normal amount after driving in slush

    If the vibration starts at low speed, then gets worse as speed increases, then at a certain point starts getting less bad it indicates you have a wheel out of balance (knocked the weight loose or snow packed in part of it) or wheel out of round -- bent wheel during crash. If it wanders around, it would indicate a bent steering part. If balance, few dollars. If bent wheel, new r junkyard wheel. If bent steering member, shop and my guess is couple hun.
