Hello, we were in an accident in January 09 that resulted in the car spinning twice in the expressway then sliding off and hitting the passenger side of the car. The back tire was popped out, the whole passenger side was smashed. We got the car "fixed" and since my husband drives it he never noticed that when going past 60mph the steering wheel shakes. I found out about a month after the car repair. He said he would call the body shop and get it looked at. Well, it's now August, he still hasn't called and the place went under and it's now closed. I would like to know if this is going to be an expensive repair since we probably have to take it to a regular mechanic. Thanks

I would start by checking tire balance, check for a bent rim, and have the alignment checked.

Let me know what you find.
