Default Bad vibration

Yesterday i got into a little tangle with the freeway. I won if you consider the fact that the car didn't roll. otherwise the rode won. i drove it into a ditch and my dad had to pull me out. i had a flat tire (we think i just pulled it off the seal 'cuz it reinflated and stayed pressurized) and that gave me a real nice vibration. we fixed it last night but there is still a noticeable vibration at 45 mph and on. What, most likely, should i be looking at to fix?? (94 camry LE)

First thing I would do is have the tire balanced. If you didn't put it on the rim in the same spot as before the accident you probably negated any balancing. Also make sure no dirt, stones, etc. are inside the rim or in the tire treads. Shop should also be able to see if the rim is bent. If that doesn't solve then look at alignment.

sounds to me like you killed your shock/strut... that would cause major vibrations

turns out that it was partially that the tire was still off about6-7 psi because when i pulled it off the rim some snow got in there. its michigan and 15 below. that ice froze up and opened a hole letting air out. we cleaned that out, repressurized and its all good now

i have a 99 camry ce
a few weeks ago i was driving down the freeway and i noticed an unusual vibration.
it was a light vibration, but now it is violent vibrations that only occur when i accelerate .
when i let off the accelerator, it drives smooth, but even if i give it a little bit of gas it shakes.

so i put the up on jacks and checked the suspension and it seemed fine. but i did find the transmission seems to be leaking quite a bit, which is another problem i have to deal with. but also the front subframe rear mounts were loose. so i tightened them, but it still shakes violently.

does anyone have any ideas what could cause this problem?
