bad vibes Sign In

My 98 camry's front end vibrates horribly. I got new brakes but don't remember if the vibration began before or after this; 4 new tires-no change, alignment-no change, tires rotated & balanced-no change. The tire guy blamed the alignment guy who blamed the tire guy who blamed the alignment guy... All I got was frustrated & gave up. Now the vibration has steadily gotten worse & seems stronger on the front passenger side which has always had a squeak (the mechanic said whatever it was wouldn't break & I didn't have a spare $400 so it still squeaks). I just replaced a slightly bent wheel-minimal change. The vibrating seems to be vertical & is present at all speeds but more intense at higher speeds. I noticed a missing weight today & had the tires rotated & balanced again. Now the vibration is better but the steering wheel shakes horizontally & the car pulls hard to the right. My tires are wearing unevenly & need replacing already but I don't want to buy more tires until I resolve the problem. I need any help you can offer, Thanks!

That sounds more of an alignment problem,but need to check the front brakes after driving cause there could be a sticking brake caliber on the right, if there is one sticking the rim would be quite hot, you would be able to feel the difference.
