98 z34 recently replaced a bent strut and pounded the strut tower back down. It took alot of the wobble out it still needs alignment n tie rods , but when I accelerate the wobble increases any thoughts? I have another post of this in suspension topic with bit more description

I'm a little worried about getting that done next incase I have to tear back into that side a friend suggested it might be axlebent, cv shaft bent or something like that. Also the previous owner hit a curb pretty hard I'm guessing 40+mph wich is why I bought it so cheap and why I have this project

Most shops will tell you when they do alignment if there is a problem ..
