So I have had my 20s on for 2 years now and for the first year and a half they felt great on the car but about six months ago I hit a pot hole and bent a front wheel which caused a bad vibration. The wheel was replaced and mounted/balanced but unfortunately the vibration has stayed around 55 mph.

Someone mentioned buying some Caster Camber Plates since the tires seem to be wearing on the inner wall of the tire and could be causing the vibration. Has anyone had any experience with these or have a brand preference? Someone else also mentioned maybe getting some aftermarket front lower control arms?

 

Is the vibration from the same side that hit the pothole? If you have 4 same size tires try rotating them and see if the vibration moved with the tires.

 

You didn't mention if you had an alignment done after hitting that pothole. If it was bad enough to bend the wheel then I'd certainly have the alignment checked, especially since you mention tire wear.

 

Hard to tell exactly what side it is coming from because it is more so just causing the steering wheel to shake. The wheels and tires are staggered.



No I didnt have any alignment. The tire place I took it to that mounted it said that if I wanted to get it done they suggest Caster Camber Plates first because then they could get the tire over farther. If you guys think that is bs since my car isnt lowered then I will just take it to another tire shop.

 

Couldn't hurt to take it to another shop for a second opinion

 

Most likely what I will end up doing
