While avoiding another driver I hit a curb and blew out the front right tire, after installing the spare tire I drove it home approx. 8 miles. while driving the front end began to shake and continued to get worse until I was less that 1/4 mile from home when the left side tire blew. I haven't driven it since but I am replacing the two tires today and want to know if a front end alignment would fix the problem or has there been damage to something else. I have removed both front tire and inspected the tie rods, ars, and other attaching hardware that I could see and found no visible damage such as cracks, breaks, bending or anything hang loose.

id bet checking for a bent axle shaft or a destroyed wheel bearing/hub assembly also. an alignment if all parts are good should fix it up.
