ok so if you did not already know I was in an accident long story short my front in was hit (hood, bumber, fender) anyway it didnt make it to the radiator no leaks as far as I know but when I go to drive it vibrates ALOT. Only thing I can think of is she messed up my wheel alignment?? And do you think a hit to the front not going very fast could have moved my motor mounts? IE causing the extra vibrations?
thanks in advance

Depends on how bad you were hit. Post some pics.

But short answer, yes. A strong enough hit in the front (or being hit in just the right spot) could possibly damage your subframe, which will cause a wheel alignment issue. Also, I would only guess that anything such as your hood or bumper flopping around in the wind could cause (aerodynamic?) vibrations.

check your axles too, I wrecked my tib and did some major damage but the hit wasn't that hard. My axle boot was torn and the alignment was off, car didn't really vibrate much tho but I replaced it and its all good now
good luck fixin yours but postin pics makes it easier for us to help
