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.

Well, i had a dealership do it so i got screwed over mostly.
But, the hub and bearing are around 150-200 bucks. and install was like 400. Its a bit of work unfortunately, because the hub is pressed into the bearing, and then that is pressed into the watcha call it thing, unfortunately i forget. But after i took my car into a curb, the wheel would wobble at just about any low speed, and i didn't dare take it to a high speed. |
