Last winter I ran up onto a curb. Now, there is a slight rumble/shake at 60mph+

sound like an expensive fix?

Not an expensive fix, no, and with an appointment it won't take more than an hour.
A tire shop for alignment, torque hub nuts, air ..

As the car has over 98 k miles have a shop inspect and repair as needed the entire suspension. the probable cause is a bent rim but worn or age hardened bushings or worn bearings can transmit the vibration. Do not ignore the shake as it could result in a dangerous failure.


I usually buy cars around this age for little money. Then I spend some money on repairing the problems and use the cars for another 100 to 150 k before they rust out.
