Help on vibration.

I notice there's vibration on the steering wheels once i got above 50MPH,
but the TSB doesnt apply to me because i have 05 6MT non navi,
that TSB only apply to AT.
so i bring it back to the dealer see whats causeing the problem, and they find one there's blend on my wheels, which causing the vibration, and they dont cover it.
Now i am stuck with the vibration or i have to replace all damn wheels which is like $1500 plus tires.
Actually, i had the vibration for long time, is it really cause by the slightly blend of the wheels?
I dont wanna pay like $2000, then still have the damn vibrations..
Please help me out here..

Why would you need to replace all 4 wheels when only one is bent?

If it is a bent wheel, then only one or both of the front wheels are bent.

New Wheels

I certainly won't recommend buying wheels and tires from a dealer. There are plenty of mod'ers willing to part with perfectly good and new wheel and tire combo for < $1k. If you really think you need to do that check the Black Market or (worst case) ebay. Some will even sell just one wheel!

Good luck. BTW- never heard of the term 'blend'. Interesting.

they told me 3 of the wheels are bent...
but i can only see one...
I was thinking to replace them at the dealer because if the vibration still happen after i replace them, then i have something to fall back on.
Should i go to another dealer to check them out?

Definitely another dealer and possibly another tire store. Many can check your balance and straightness of wheels. Dealers are obviously out to make killer bucks on parts and service while tire dealers make their modest money selling tires and services. It would be worth the extra $$ to take it somewhere.

Has something happened to cause this vibration? Slide it into a curp while doing a 360/parallel parking job?! Did you buy it pre-owned? Dealer or Indi?
