Question:

car drives bumpy, what can be the reason?

last night my car (front left tire) went into a pothole with speed of about 50 mph and this morning when i was driving the car i felt that the car is not driving smoothly and it‘s a little bumpy what can be the case and how can i fix it??thanks

Answer:

You could have bent the rim or knocked the tire out of balance. Get to a shop and have it checked out.
Suspension systems vary significantly from car to car, so it could be anything. I think you would notice if you had a flat tire. On my friends car, he went over a pothole at 70 and blew out a washer on one of his sway bar end linkages. It's a $2 part that takes about 2 - 4 hours of labor to replace. But like I said, your car's suspension could be completely different.
The suspension might be broken. Go to a garage and ask them to fix it.
