Hit a pothole now its violently shaking but only when accelerating
What is your question?
Hit a big pothole now my 2009 chevy impala ltz violently shakes when accelerating. There's no clanking or clicking or any other sounds it just shakes almost uncontrollably but only when I accelerate. Also noticed the rear is now sitting lower than it was before. Nothing is leaking out anywhere and there's no steering issues.
What makes this problem better or worse?
It's worse when accelerating

Hello, Dave here, contributing to RepairPal and providing expert advice since 2010.
Reading your concern, my first guess is to look at the front drive axles and see if something is damage or out of round. If so, they will definitely cause a severe steering wheel shaking, If not resolved.
You could have several other possible causes, and troubleshooting with hands on experience as well as knowing what you are looking for is needed.
I'm thinking an axle needs to be replaced, but to be determined which one(s) requires the hands on experience.
