Pulsing vibrations

[gaz_aot]

hi, been here a while but only just registered

i need a bit of help with a strong pulsing vibration i'm getting from my car, basically i lost control on a gravel track and smashed it into a kerb sideways on and smashed my front alloy off and dented the back. i thought that the simple fix was new alloys but no i had bent my wishbone too. so i bought new alloys and had the wishbone replaced but i still have strong vibrations coming through the car. i took it to a garage of an vag specialist and he can't find the problem but recons it could be the wheel bearings.
just wondering if anyone has an idea of what it could be,

cheers

Well, it could be the wheel bearings!

i did that in my old fiesta and the wheel bearing was knackered id have it changed

sounds like a bent drive shaft.

that would give a pulsing vibration.

how much would a new driveshaft cost fitted approx?

thats a difficult question as prices would vary an awful lot i.e. dealer or specialist ?

have you had the car alligned since the prang?
