I think I bent a rim- the ride is very rumby and uneven. I have hit a few potholes recently.
However, I cannot see any damage.
Is there a way to find out?
Thanks!

Hi cattman:
If you feel vibration, then you probably bent the rim. Take the wheel off, have the tire unmounted, and check for roundness at a tire shop or at your dealer. I am assuming that you know that your tire is OK.
