2000 Ford Ranger Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I just got my tires replaced and the tire shop informed me that one of my wheels is bent (when they had it on the spinning balance machine it would make a fishtail motion). Is this something that can cause damage to other parts of the car (i.E. Suspension) or is just going to make my ride a little less smooth?

Did they say how much weight it took to balance the wheel? Does it shake at all when driving?

Start with the new tire, this can cause a belt to shift, ruining the new tire, I would replace any bent rim.

It does vibrate when driving and I don't know how much weight it took to balance it.
