Lots of Vibration while driving on highway!

[Trailblazin]

well after my accident, the chassis is kinda lifted up on the left hand side....the vibration was minimal and there was no major problem...

driving the car today though a year after the accident, I felt ALOOOOT of vibration coming from the right hand side wheel....i mean i was scared to drive any faster then 100kph! I do remember going over some small bumps at a slow speed, but even still, i don't think my rim woulda bent..thats what it feels like...

ok by saying that i just had a thought, maybe my tire is warping :duh: I HATE 20" RIMS!!! the tires are tooo expensive.... i think i might sell them soon and buy some nice 18" ones.....

ill take the car to the garage tmrw and see what the dealio is...btw, would this have anything to do with the sway bar end links??? I changed those a year ago for new OEM ones... helppppp (i was just about starting to love everything about my trailblazer till this happened)

Could be an imbalanced tire, the weights could have came off your wheel which could cause a vibration. The weights they use on the inside of the rim arent as good for balancing as the ones they put on the outside - but those are kind of ugly on a nice wheel.
Could also be a wheel bearing.
I wouldnt think it has anything to do with your swaybar, as its not part of the rotating mass .. as this is only apparent when you are driving at higher speeds, etc. Just a couple things to check out first, tires being the most likely cause.

Your rotors might be beginning to warp. Check on them.

Your rotors might be beginning to warp. Check on them.
Good call, especially if the tire weights have disappeared, the combo of these things could really cause some bad vibration.

Could have been out of alignment after repair which has worn tires unevenly and or worn your tie rod.

thanks for the replies, i didnt have the time to take the car to the garage today....i have a feeling it might have something to do with the brakes though, imean today i was breaking and i heard the brakes starting to squeek!!

btw just out of curiousity, what is a tie-rod??? i think i remember seeing some moog tie rods on summit racing but had no idea what they were used for....

ok i went to the dealersip and the guy told me my brakes and brake pads needed changing asap. He told me even if they ground them down, the "wrinkles" in the rotors would not come out, so new ones would need to be put in place.....

Anyone know a good place to get some rotors??? Since the OEM rotors said they'd charge at least $200 for two front rotors and pads, I might as well go after market.....I do need to keep in mind shipping though, as I pay $6 per 1/2kilo which is kinda pricey...let me know plz, not looking for drilled rotors as a friend of mine had a set and they actually cracked due to the fact of how hot it was in Kuwait. Summer months are like 4, and they average 50 degrees celsius within those 4months, so looking for some slotted ones..plz let me knwo if i can get a good deal on any, thanks!

200$ for pads and rotors is really good. did that include labor also?
