You have a separation in the belts of the tire. A bubble on the sidewall (look on the inside too) or the tread with have a wavelike pattern. It is easily seen when off the vehicle and spun on a balancer. Replacing the tire is the the only solution.

A damaged rim or tire is a possiblity but it would have to be really damaged to show up only at low speed. Usually that sort of damage shows up as a high speed vibration, now low-speed. The exception is if you have an actual belt separation in the tire, which means the tire is no longer round. Run your hand around the tire tread to feel for any spots that bulge out. Also look for any bulges on the inside and outside sidewall of the tire. If you see any the tire needs to be replaced ASAP.
More likely is you have a bent knuckle, strut, tie rod or lower control arm or some combination of the above.

It sounds like you've bent a wheel. To check it yourself, simply jack up the car. Take it out of gear & spin the wheel that hit the pothole by hand. Any warp or bend in the wheel should be obvious, If you do not find any damage to the wheel take it to a reliable front end shop & have them inspect it further for damage.

I think you have shifted a belt near the side wall. As the wheel spins faster, you are riding more on the center of the tire. Have the tires checked and or replaced.

Bent wheel.
Tire needs balancing.
Front end alignment.
Check them in the order I have written. It costs from low to high in that order. You can check for bent wheel yourself by putting it up on a jack and rotating it. If bent, replace the wheel. $30
You can do the balancing done in any garage, and they may charge you $10 per wheel. Cost: $40
FEAlignment, will cost you upwards of $200.
The pleasure of knowing you did it all by yourself: priceless.

Hopefully, the simple solution to this is that you need to have an alignment done.
However, it could be worse. You may have a bent wheel, a bent control arm, etc.
You should, at the minimum, have the alignment done first. The alignment should give your tech and you a read-out that shows what's out of alignment, and if you need to have parts replaced.

Shaking/pulsating even as hitting the brakes are likely warped rotors. in case you could experience it interior the steerage wheel, that is the front. a good thanks to ensure which (the front or rear) is carry the parking brake launch button, and use the parking brake to decelerate. If it shakes, this is the rear rotors/drums. be confident to prepare the parking brake slowly, and make confident no human being is in the back of you, as your brake lighting fixtures gained't come on even as doing this. once you've shaking without utilizing the brakes, and it in elementary words occurs once you attain a particular %, that is likely tire stability. Get your tires balanced and became round. good luck.

I would bet you have a bad tire (broken belt) or bent rim. Have a local tire business check this out for you. Don't put this off. If the tire or rim fails, you could be in an accident.

Check for a bent rim. I just had my bent rim repaired by wheels America (they do service nationwide) for $125. It beats the $450 to replace the rim from Nissan!
