Rear wheel vibration at 70mph!
1987 F250 Custom 4-speed, 302 - 5.0 liter
I've noticed a strong vibration from the back, passenger side wheel well when going about 65-70mph. I wonder if that means the tire needs to be re-balanced? Any ideas?
I just got new (used) rims and tires put on a few days ago.

Rear wheel vibration at 70mph!
It could be a couple of things...
Some aftermarket rims require specific styles of acorn or necked lug nuts to center them correctly.
The tire could have, or thrown, a bad belt (this is often a claim, but in my experience very rarely the case).
The wheel could be bent, or it could have been balanced poorly.
How much weight did they use on each side when they balanced it the first time?
How can you tell it's one wheel? (general vibration can come from a bad U-joint).
