Help Yal! Unnecessary Vibration
whats up guys,
I recently put on new 18" rims and adjusted the height of my rear springs. But now every time I go over 60mph my wheel vibrates. Do I need to get the wheels aligned or ? Do any of you guys have an idea about whats wrong or how to fix it. Thanks.

Rep Power: 0 he did drop his car, a crappy alignment, camber/toe out of spec could cause a noise/vibration. Get an alignment, and have the tires mounted properly

In the 15 years I have worked in auto shops, I could count on one hand how often an alignment could cause a vibration. A dime to a dollar says the tires are out of balance.
