Dealers are probably your best bet. Road force and rim measurements can be quite a bit more expensive than normal balance, but you should be able to do it as supplemental to the insurance claim.

Vibrations can be notoriously hard to diagnose. It really does amount to eliminating possibilities until you are left with the problem. Good luck!

Is there a way to distinguish between bent wheels, bad tires, bent CV shafts, bent struts, loose/worn steering arms, bad bushings, bad bearings...ahh, so MANY things!

I get a vibration at high speeds (50+), can feel it particularly in the steering wheel, front seats, dashboard. I have been trying to figure out what's going on, keeping in mind that:

Moreover it is not unusual for brand new tires to have this problem. If it is not the tires or the rim, you could start looking at the hub and driveshaft. If the driveshaft is bent, you can see it with the wheels turning in the air. The hub needs to be measured with a dial indicator.

It can be very difficult to isolate if it is from the tires or the drive line.. but most of the time, it is the tires. Looking at the tires with the naked eye when there is no load on the tire is not very telling though. The best thing is to find a shop with a Hunter DSP 9000 or similar machine that measures so called road force. This will measure the tire under load, and can also be used to check rim out of round.

I have been to 4 different shops to try to rebalance my tires, check my suspension, everyone keeps on telling me different things!

I have been having a bad bad bad wobble (vibration) in my VW Beetle front-end. I started after I had changed both upper balljoints (they were very bad). But having decided to tighten up every thing I could find I ended up tightened the wheel bearings which really overdue changing.

Tire vibration can be caused by worn axle bearings. Cars with 125,000+ are suspect of excessive axle bearing wear. The replacement cost varies greatly. On my 2011 Camry the parts cost was < $200 dollars and took about 4 hours to do with some basic tools. The most difficult step was removing the ball joint. Hope this helps.
