Recently I let a buddy drive my car while I was passenger side and hammered. He proceeded to take a free way on ramp at 30-40 mph and pulled left running the driver side front tire into a 5inch curb. After that my car steering wheel shakes mildly when going 50-70 and pulls left a 3 on a 1 to 10 scale. My tire isn't loosing pressure and doesn't appear messed up. They are low pros also. Any idea how messed up of a fix this could be? Price wise aswell on the low and high side. Any input would be great thanks.

The wheel could be bent or out of balance. Take it to a tire shop so they can remove and inspect it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Good move on letting the friend drive despite hitting the curbing. Speed related vibration now should be tire or wheel related, balance or bent wheel or unseen issue with tire but do have anything checked. Alignment could be off but IMO doesn't usually cause a vibration or imbalance on its own, T
