Strange vibration following accident

[BRISTOL86]

Hi

A few days ago some scum-of-the-earth pond life hit my car whilst I was parked and away from it, and I came back to find severe damage to the front passenger door, mirror and wing.

At first I figured it was only cosmetic, but since the accident, every now and again, at about 2,000RPM in 4th or 5th gear, there is a very noticable vibration/judder that goes up through my leg from the accelerator pedal.

It doesn't last for long, and if I change up (if in 4th) and speed up it goes away.

Anyone know what could be causing this issue, and whether or not it is a coincdence that it's only been occuring since the incident.

Thanks

Have you got any wheel balancing weights left or have they been knocked off?

If it's at a certain road speed, possibly buckled wheel/suspension damage, if it's at a certain engine speed then unlikely to be as a result of the collision.

Have you had the suspension etc checked since the collision, maybe the bodywork of the other vehicle hit the door and the wheel hit your wheel??

bent wheel or possible tyre bulge?

Thanks all

Taking it to get tracking/balancing sorted this afternoon.
