my dumb ass hit a curb the other night, but there is no noticable vibration under 60mph. on highway speeds, however, the car shakes pretty bad, and the steering wheel vibrates even worse. although i didnt look too closely, there doesnt seem to be and visible dents to my rim(s) on the passenger side. is there anything i can do myself or anything an auto shop can do for relatively cheap that will fix the problem. im guessing its just a very slightly bent rim.

Jack up your car and by hand rotate the wheels. If it isn't straight you got a dented rim. My car was like that when I bought it too. Even tho the rims look ok, they aren't!

[right][snapback]348290[/snapback][/right] Wouldn't he have to rotate the wheels fast enough to simulate the amount of rotations one would normally get in 3rd gear at 60 mph?  But I agree, you don't have to be able to SEE anything for the rim to be dented, which is exactly what it sounds like |
