So I accidentally ran into a ditch and...
So about a week ago I was driving while it was snowing on 95 going a little fast and I lost control of my 94 4runner and ran it into a ditch. THe front tire popped from impact and I got stuck in the mud. I eventually got it pulled out but because of the impact my suspension was knocked way out of wack. I so far have had two alignments and my car still vibrates pretty bad. The people who did the alignments both times said they balanced all my tires and did the alignments but didnt mention any other damage. What should I look for or what most likely is damaged that I can fix or get fixed. I am not looking to dump alot of money into this so any advice would be great.

Im not exactly sure what I am looking for if I were to look at my driveshaft. Is this most likely what is causeing the problem? The vibrations are at the wheels and through the steering wheel.

Did you get 1 new tire? If you did is the tire the same size, similar tread design and speed rating as the others? Steering stabalizer will not cause a vibration issue. Move the tires around to see if the vibration goes away or gets worse like what TacomaTRD suggested. As for your driveline if it's bent it will cause a vibration, check for visible dents and see if your driveline is missing a weight, you can usually tell if it had a weight by checking for tack weld spots on the driveline its self if it is missing a weight you will need to get your driveline balanced, check the U-joints for play, check the tranny mounts also.
