Gen5 vibration question

I had recently purchased a set of goodyear tripletred on my 05 camry se
the tires are ok but i have yet to try them on various road condition

but the shop that i bought and balance the tires is a ass@$#$@
since they installed the tires, i had vibrations issues on highway

1st time (after the tires bought & balanced) : small steering wheel vibration at 110 km/h & up

2nd time (wheel alignment & rebalanced) : much more noticable vibration at that speed & up
(even when my leg rest on the dead pedal can feel the vibration)

3rd (rebalance again): no noticable change in the situation

at that point i decided this shop just @#!$!% can't balance the tires and booked an appointment in markville toyota to have them balance the tires as i heard they have road forace balance machine
after that(3 weeks already ) no more steering wheel vibration
but the dead pedal vibration still there (less though)
i wonder if the car has anything damaged because of the balancing problem as I drove a few highway trips during that time.

i had the dealer written the balance problem detail:
left rear wheel off 10g inside off 10g outside
left front wheel ok, off 10g outside
right rear ok
right front inside off 10g outside off 20g

do yo guys think the out of balance problem was so serious that can damage joints or other thing that can lead to dead pedal vibrations?
or if that ass shop did the wheel aligenment poorly too?

seems like they did the wheel alignment (toe and camber correction) for you (shop wont do anymore then what youask for if you specify what you want), but you didnt get a wheel balance (balance...) which is what you needed.

may be my wording is a bit confusing

the dealer has already balanced for me(and listed the balance problems as in my 1st thread) and the steering wheel vibration disappeared

now only the dead pedal vibration remains i wonder if my car is damaged by driving on highway with the out of balanced tires

also the shop had done the wheel aligment for me but i wonder if i need to do it again if they cant even balance my tires...

the vibration would ahv eot be extremely severe to cause damage to any steeringor suspension components.

It sounds like you may have a bad tire or bent rim. You should take it and have them balance again and ahve them check for run out on the wheels and tires.
