Which wheels are bent? What brand tires are on your vehicle?
Which wheels are bent? What brand tires are on your vehicle?
Ok thanks for the info.
If the wheels are slightly bent then you will feel a vibration on these vehicles especially since they are 19 inch wheels and the Hankook tires are of a harder compound. There are many companies that straighten and repair these wheels. Some even will come to you. After the wheels are repaired have them road forced balanced and the vibration should be resolved. The next step would be to have the dealer balance the drive shaft as this is done on the car with special tools and equipment. Lastly if you can supply me with the last six digits of your VIN I can look into some of the history on this vehicle.

I can tell you that on these vehicles you will feel a vibration if you have bent wheels. The dealer can also balance the driveshaft and replace it if needed under the factory warranty.
