are you still riding with the bent rim? or did you replace it?
edit: also, if you replaced the rim, did you replace the tire? cause the tire will wear to the bent rim, causing a vibration.

What would "bend" in the suspension/steering if the wheel did hit a curb?
I've eliminated the rim, it was bent, and replaced, then a couple of wheel balances and alignments.
The bearings will be the next item to check.

I'm currently in Panama and the truck is in Tampa so I'll certainly do that when I return.

You may need to find a good shop that knows what they are doing.
If you bent the rim !!! did you also bend the hub - spindle? Damage to the wheel brg? Both? I Guess we are talking a 2wd
