could be a broken motor mount, the rubber could be old and broke causing vibration

Well I actually had a guy hit me about a year ago since then I haven't really drove it my sis has and now that I drove it that damn thing shakes. So I don't know when the guy hit my front bumber it might've busted something?

Ya, prolly. If it bent the frame or touched the motor, it could have broken one of the mounts. My buddy just changed out his upper driver's side mount because it shook... I'm 90% sure that's what it is.

Just take a large screw driver and push it threw the mount and see if you can move it a bit. If you can then it's broke.
