Default Vibration at 40 kmph and then subsides. is it the drive shaft or the exhaust????????

Hey, i accidently hit the underside of my car on a speed bump. which damged my exhaust. the exhaust started touching the drive shaft and made a lot of noise. the guys at the dealership strightened the exhaust up temporarily. With this i got rid of the noise but now the car vibrates. This vibration happens between 40 - 60 kmph and then dies down to neglegible vibration as i speed up. iam not sure weather it is the drive shaft or the exhaust or something else. Is it safe to drive the car in this condition because i have to wait a good couple of weeks before the parts arrive.......any suggestions will be helpful!!!!!!!!

I would quickly check the driveshafts and suspension parts (such as bushings), but I suspect driveshafts in the first place. One might have come out of the transmission or have the CV joint broken. Given it's not related to a unbalanced wheel, I would have it checked as soon as possible.

Hey. Just checked. Dere is a dent on the drive shaft. Is it still safe to drive it at low speeds for a couple of days as no mechanics are open coz of easter

Only guessing, but it should be staying in place for a while. I would avoid highway speeds though.
