Jack the front of the car up, spin the wheel, look down the side of the car, is it buckled?

I'd go with bent wheel first, as it's at all speeds, then also maybe even a bent tca, they do bend rather easy on some fords!!

you've prob bent the wheel. do you have steel or alloy wheels?

2 weeks after passing my test i was being a dick and slid my mums mk1 focus into the curb and buckled 2 steel wheels. was wll impressed with the car as everything else was fine, even the tracking!!!

steering wheel shook villantly though from the moment i pulled away.
