Default Shake between 50 & 65???

I have a 95 LX and it has been great. But the other day I hit a driveway entrance maybe a bit faster than I should have, enough to get the airdam to hit...the next dayit has a steering wheel shake only between 50-65 mph. Its not related to engine RPM and above 65 it goes away as well. Any ideas? Tie rod ends? Ball joints? Let me know some ideas that I can check tonight.

alignment? That would be my best guess. What about going around corners and stuff? any sounds out of the axles or clunking noises?

Not sure on the alignment as it still tracks straight down the road, could be I guess...
No weird clunking noises either, nothing while turning or accelerating or both...

I think it might be the tires, maybe a bad belt in the tire?? Thats all I can think of.

Maybe you popped a wheel weight off if you hit hard enogh. May just need a balance. Look and see if there any "clean" places where a wheel weight has been. Worth a look.

Whats your climate like? if it is cold and snowy then it could be ice buildup on the control arm, that will do it, just take a hose with hot water like at a wash place and spray off in behind the wheels

Have the wheel balanced. You might have damaged the wheel when you hit the curb. Things that spin are kinda wierd with the weight distribution, you might have runout on your wheel.
