alright quick run down on the last two weeks of work done to the jeep.

brought it in for a balance job, said rim was bent they put it on the back shook even worse, told them to put fullsize matching spare on. they did still shoock, brought it back they didn't find anything, i told them to take the tire off thinking it was a bad belt low and behold it was, so we put a used matching size and brand tire on. went to mackinaw over this weekend started vibrateing about 70-75 it was a bad vibe had to slow down, on the way home had to do 60 to keep it from vibrating to horribly,
is the rear going or did we get a bad used tire? it seems to be coming from the passenger rear, i also checked driveshaft u-joints they felt tight, my only consern was the rear pumpkn was so hot it burned my fingers after just a second or two is that typical? had only been driving about 2,2.5 hours at that time... any help would be appreciated she drives to muskegon everyday and i dont want her to break down on the way there cuz i will no longer be able to bug you guys being internet doesn't work 6ft under
thanks in advance guys

side note i forgot.. the vibration started out as a come and go thing at 70-75 it would vibe then quite and then vibe again.... now its a constient vibe starting at like 57-60 and continuing through anything after 60

How did the rim get bent? Was it hit or something? Maybe bent the wheel flange on the axle shaft? or a wheel bearing going out.

the rim was bent im asuming when the littly dent was put in the front fender before she bought it..... im not sure the rim was/is actualy bent... got it fixed today the tire place put a out of round and champhered tire on it, that where my vibes were coming from the tire wobbled up and down and had a wear on the outside like it was driven with bad joiont. new tire ran up to 80 no problems smooth as class now. thanks though i guess i should always check my gut feeling before posting nonsenes on here lol thanks again
