after hitting an animal(fox???) on interstate doing 81 and becoming slightly airborne for about .5 seconds i have noticed a vibration on the right(pass) front end. nothing is noticable as being damaged and im assuming i hit the animal head on in the center. what could be causing the vibration or better put as a shimmy. i dont notice it much in the steering wheel and its more pronounced if im doing between 55-75 mph.
all inner, outer tie rods as well as both ball joints new as of nov. 2014.
what could be damaged if anything???

have the front end checked it may have bent a control arm or damaged a ball joint which need to be tested a certain way could have also bent a wheel slightly or knocked a weight off wheel for balance.

thx ill check those components over. the funny thing is that sometimes it wont vibrate at all and others it will. yesterday i was doing 51 and it was very bad but doing low speeds it does not vibrate at all.
