Default Bad Vibrations...

I tagged a center devider on the driverside rear a-arm yesterday and started feeling a bit of vibration... I took it to the tire shop and it looked like there was a weight missing so i ballanced the tire but it still vibrates pretty bad, especially over 45+

Little scratch on the a-arm but other than that I cant se any dammage.
Any Ideas of what too look for?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

I would suggest putting the car up on a lift, removing the wheel and giving all the suspension components a thorough going over to see if anything is bent etc. The vibration could be several things - 1) Bent wheel - did the tire jockey check for wheel runout when he had it on the balance machine ? 2) Alignment 3) Damaged ball joint, A arm or tie rod end. 4) You could have a tire separation - how close did the tire jockey check it ?
