2006 Chevy Cobalt my wife hit a pothole and now the car vibrates at higher speeds. Is there a manual that shows the front wheel assembly? I would like to take it apart to ascertain what needs to be replaced.

The front end may have been knocked out of alignment? Even if you replace any parts, you may still need to get it aligned.

The alignment shop couldn't find anything wrong? I'll see if I can find a couple of assembly pictures.

I haven't been able to find an overall exploded view of your suspension system. I'll post up if I find something.

ok that will help. I think some of the components must have bent slightly when the wheel dropped into the pothole.

Hello,

Did they check the Rim to see if it was bent? Also was the Wheel Ballance checked? Could have thrown a wheel weight.
