While driving back from Kerala yesterday, I happened to crash into a pot hole. Was avoiding a pickup overtaking a lorry on a left turn and ended up running into a pot hole at the edge of the road. I was at about 80-90kmph and there was no time to brake. Visual inspection has shown no damage like bend rims or damaged tyre (MRF OE).

However, at speeds above 90kmph, there is a very slight steering wobble. Wondering if one of the balancing weights fell off when I crashed into the pothole. Any thoughts?
