Default Bent rim ?

Ok ive been posting up on here for the last couple of weeks about my can having a violent shake to it. Well I took it to the shop the other day and ended up having a broken rear motor mount, and the axles were both binded bc the car sat too low. So they raised it up an inch and a 1/2 and did a realignment. They notice that my rear left rim was bent. They say thats all tahts causing it to vibrate right now so my ? is should that make my whole car shake? I even feel it through the steering wheel which I would think that it would only be the rear end. any input on this would be great. thanks

if your wheel is bent of course it could cause shaking....why dont you try taking 2 of your current rims, put them on the back, then put 2 steelies or some other same size rims on the front and drive around to see if its better once the "bent" rim is removed

It could. Mount your spare and go for a ride. If the vibration is gone, the bent wheel is the culprit.

why dont u get ur bent wheel fixed? Wheels of America does awesome jobs with lifetime warranties.... Had my cracked aluminum wheel fixed there. although they do charge a lot. around 100 for rear only. 125 for rear+front.
( front meaning if there is curbage on the wheel and if it's bent in the front.....( includes colormacthing paint to other wheels)
