Yup back axles were both out. #1 was 3/32" and #2 was -1/8". He bent the front axle as well, camber on drivers side went from 5/8 a degree to 3/8 a degree. pass side is -1/8 a degree.
Toe is untouched(I check it regularly). Caster is 2 3/8 degrees left and 3 1/2 degrees right. I think both could be a little higher.

Could be worse, had a vibration in 18th and ended up replacing the trans, ouch.

Company we get our tires from, they put in what they call balancing balls on larger tires. Never had any issue with a tire vibration with those. The truck I drive doesn't have any wheel weights or balls inside, no vibration but the steer tires have some funny wear on them. By the looks of it, you'd swear I have a serious vibration or wobble in the steering wheel but I don't. Funny how tires work sometimes.

I have a strange wobble right at 50 mph. A couple mph above and below it is no longer there. When the steering wheel wobbles it also feels very loose. I found the weights on the passenger steer tire were gone, so I had both rebalanced. They are not out of round. The balancing seemed to help, but I still notice maybe 20% of the time at 50 mph the wobble is back. There doesn't appear to be any other issues in the suspension/steering. I went over everything, and replaced the drag link and shocks. Wobble is still there.
