A few weeks ago i was driving on a country road and i met a car coming the other direction and moved over so there would be ample room to pass. Well i got over too far and dropped the right side of my car off the pavement hitting the inside edge of both passenger side rims bending them. Well i had a bad steering wheel vibration, like it was bouncing my keys hanging from the ignition. So i swapped the right front tire for the left rear to solve the vibration problem right? Wrong i still had a vibration coming through the steering wheel, so i tooke off the tire started my car and put it in gear and watched the rotationg assembly and saw that my axle shaft was wobbling. So has anyone had experience with a bent axle or is there a diy on how to change one because i already searched and found nothing. Also can i take it to a shop and have it balanced out or will i have to replace it?
