On my way home today, I was ran of the interstate and hit a hole. The girl was texting on her phone. Now my truck shakes really bad. She was ticketed for her wrong doing. When get up around 50, its bad. Don't know if the rim is bent or not. But when I got home, I found that some weights are missing. I have this picture from my phone. Hope it loads so y'all can tell me what y'all think.
Just take it in and have the rebalance the wheel, I have had weights come off before and the truck shook like a dog crappin peach pits. I put my money on the missing weights.

the left over adhesive could be from a previous balance, reason i say that is when the weights are first pulled off the adhesive is white, and turns grey later on with brake dust.
you need to have that wheel roadforce balanced to see if its bent, and you need to have the suspension looked over as well.
did you get her insurance information?

I know. You don't know if it's bent for sure yet right? I wouldn't get too worried about it until I found out it was bent.

Got my new tunes ordered from Justin@vmptuning .....what sux is the tcm on my truck is a bit more complex than the f150 tcm on the +09's and very few tuners know it.....really made my choices few and far between.....I don't think the dealer who installed the fox lake heads ever tuned the truck for them.....just slapped them on and strapped her to the dyno....scary thought.....

I don't know, maybe I was just brought up on "old school ways" but I think however the vehicle came tuned should be the way it stays if being driven daily. If the manufacturer thought the tuning was appropriate, why change? It's not like you're racing it everyday.
