1990 v6 3.0 4 runner

Went off road yesterday. Almost flipped it. Hella fun but think I screwed up my front end. Steering shakes hella bad when your hittin about 30-40mph. Any help?

Hahah nice man I have been there. Its all fun till stuff starts breaking. Check your idler arm the bolt tends to bend and makes the steering on these trucks scary. You should be able to see if its bent. If you know where it is check and see if the bushing is separating from the arm to center link. I would say best start. Next look for bent or loose parts.
