hit pothole- now car wobbles at fwy speed

I hit a huge pothole last weekend and now my car wobbles at freeway speeds. I am going to get under it this weekend and look, but i was wondering what should i look at? i was thinking torsion bars/lower arms etc, and also how can i tell if one is bent?

My first guess would be to "visually" check everything. I had the same prob a few months ago, twice within that month actually. Doing 80mph on I-95, first time a pothole knocked off a wheel weight, and then the next time it actually bent a rim. Enough to see it wobble on the tire balancer. Good luck finding it though, hope it's nothing big.
