Whole car vibrates at 70-up I had a small wreck a few months back I clipped a tree root at about 40mph and I bent my suspension on the passenger front side and broke both passenger wheels well i replaced the passenger front suspension and both wheels and now the car shakes/vibrates pretty bad at anything above 70mph and gets worse the higher the speed all the plastics inside vibrate horribly anyone know what the problem is? Any help would be appreciated
Car is 98 z28 m6 bone stock except for 4:10's and flowmaster muffler

Could be a few different things. Check your torque arm, and drive shaft is where i'd start. May not be your problem though. We're kinda diagnosing the same problem on a friend of mines car but his hasn't been wrecked. Lq4, 4l80e swap. We tried the torque arm and got some vibration out but not enough. I think he's gonna get a longer driveshaft next. Like i said that may not be your problem though. Could've broken a motor mount too on the passenger side.

Tires being out of balance would be the first thing I would check. Somewhere with a road force balancer. When you got new wheels, did you get new tires too? I know when I put new tires on mine, the guy that did it I guess didn't pay attention or care because I took it back a couple times from it shaking and they never could get it right. I took it to another shop and they balanced them and now no shaking. Good luck man.

could also be out of alignment, or possibly the wheel bearing. although bearings typically make the most god awful noise when they are damaged enough to cause the vibrations you describe (ask me how i know)
