High Probability Issues:
* Bent or Broken Wheel: This is the most likely culprit. The impact could have bent a wheel, causing it to be out of balance and violently shake. A broken wheel is a much more dangerous scenario. Inspect your wheels carefully for bends, cracks, or damage.
* Damaged Tire: A bent rim often leads to a damaged tire. Look for bulges, cuts, or unusual wear on the tire. Even if the tire looks okay, it's likely compromised and needs replacing.
* Suspension Damage: The impact could have bent or broken control arms, tie rods, ball joints, or other suspension components. This is serious and needs immediate professional attention. Driving with damaged suspension is dangerous.
* Damaged Axle or Axle Shaft: A significant hit could damage the axle or axle shaft. This is a major repair.
* Wheel Bearing Damage: The impact might have damaged a wheel bearing, causing the wheel to wobble and shake.
Less Likely (but possible) Issues:
* Steering Components: While less likely to cause *violent* shaking at that speed, severe damage to the steering rack or other steering components is possible.
* Frame Damage: In extreme cases, the frame itself could have been bent or damaged, though this is less probable than the above issues.
What to Do:
1. Do NOT drive the Jeep. Driving with any of the likely problems above is extremely dangerous. You risk further damage, loss of control, and an accident.
2. Visually inspect the wheel and tire. Look for obvious damage like bends, cracks, or bulges.
3. If you can safely do so, have the Jeep towed to a mechanic or tire shop. Don't attempt to drive it.
4. Describe the incident to the mechanic or tire shop. Tell them exactly what happened and the speed you were traveling. This helps them diagnose the problem more accurately.
The severity of the shaking indicates substantial damage. Getting it professionally checked and repaired is crucial for safety and to prevent further, possibly more costly, problems.
