something is very wrong with my b14( please help)

last December in my area there was a very bad ice storm. unfortunately i had to drive through because of a doctor's appointment. Enough said i hit some ice and slid into sign,a U-channel post.(honestly was going no more then 40mph. but anything and everything was ice) It put a nice size dent in my rear passenger panel. Do not know how i did but i missed the rear wheel by less then an inch. Now ever time i drive the car shakes loudly when i am in 45-65mph. its horrible and I can't take it no more. If I turn the wheel to the left its worse, if I turn right the car is perfectly quite(no problem at all) I have checked my tires and there is no unusually wear of the rubber. Now even inside the rear drivers side is giving a loud vibrating sound. Also the scariest thing i do no like is when i am driving the car it just randomly tweaks. like I am driving straight just cruising and out of know where the car just bumps itself to the right. Very scary because i don't want something worse to happen and all of the sudden crash.

Any ideas? frame damage maybe? i forget to take the pictures of the rear dent today but I will get them up tomorrow.

here is the pic of the car dented

I was thinking the same thing. Pics would help although if its bent you should be able to tell. how low did it hit the car, like wheel height? Could also be your alignment, chunk of ice could of hit something out of wack. And that would make sense seeing as how when you turn to the left it gets worse and the damage is to the right of the car. Take it to a good alignment shop and see if the can tell you anyhting

I'm just wondering why the accident happened last Dec, and he is just now trying to figure it out.

he said he just put up with it, but cant take it anymore..
i know that if i hit a sign, i woulda fixed the damage by now. or got a new car!

lol.. within 2 weeks i blew a tranny. got in installed. and snapped an axle.. thats my luck... just fix your car man.

lowest quote so far is 1500$ to fix it. as of right now i am a college students, with two sports, so that really doesn't give me much time to work. so money is really tight.

Maybe your tires need some balancing since its vibrating.

i can honestly say have you ever replaced you wheel bearings lol ! its a 30 dollar part .... jack up your car and try to twist the tire side to side . i had the same problem but both of my front wheel bearings were completly gone in my nx2k . try replacing it before you go and do extensive work done to it and spend uneeded mula !
