Possible Issues From A Bent Wheel?

[homar]

I hit a pretty bad pothole with the front passenger's side wheel about a month ago. Since then, I *think* there's more vibration but it's really hard to tell. I've also been having some strange handling problems. It seems like the LSD is pulling when it didn't before, I don't know if a bent wheel would cause problems like that or just the vibration.

So basically:
1) If you had a bent wheel, what issues did you have afterwards?
2) What's the best way to go about finding out if it's actually bent or not? I was planning on going up to a tire place and having them balance it and look to see if the wheel is spinning off-center.

Thanks!

The pulling is probably from a lot of toe out. You should get it on an alignment rack to see how far out you are. You can get the wheel checked by a local shop. Just have them spin balance it.

Vega's right ,put it on a rasck ,I be the toe is out . When I hit a pothole My toe went out 1.5 on the front the rear was 1 degree out as well ,The car want to go right all the time . Have them check your rim for run out and balance as well
