ok heres my problem...i ran my box into a 4 ft ditch and ended up with a flat tire..i drove with the donut for about a day and just bought a new tire...its the right size...now as i pulled out of the parking lot, my steering wheel started to shake harder and harder as i went faster...it didnt do this with the donut at all...what could this be?...wheel balancing?...needs an alignment?..i hope there is no real damage...

Sounds like you might have bent the rim a little. Thats way no shake with the donut. If not that then I agree with Padanky.

i would say lower control arm. im sure u probably jacked up your alignment as well. check to make sure ur wheel isnt bent. those are cheap to replace so no worries on that.

Take a measuring tape and crawl under the front and find some good points to measure from, and see if the lower suspension points measure square.
There are holes on the undercarriage that are equal from side to side. Take one of them points (somewhere around the center of the rocker) and measure diagonal across to a few points on the undamaged lower control arm. Then switch sides to see if they match, this will tell you if you need a lower control arm. You can even do front to back measurements. Just pick any spot that is on each side.
