Hello,
My darling wife 'supposedly' had a deer jump out in front of her and slide into a ditch. At first appearance everything seemed fine about the car other that some mud packed into the hub caps and a few minor scratches. It also seems to ride fine at lower speeds, but the first time I took it on the highway the entire car started to rapidly vibrate at speeds beginning around 50mph and progressively worsening from there. There is no pulling of the wheel or slop in the steering. Do you recommend an wheel alignment or is this most likely a busted belt in a tire? Please don't tell me it's a motor mount or worse.
Thanks,
Ron

Hi tucci1966,

Symptoms indicates possible fault with the axles. Get the axle inner joints checked for broken boots.
