Angry Tires Rotated....Steering FUBAR!

Hey, I just got my tires rotated and now my steering is all outta whack!! I've experienced this before when I first lowered my car and got an alignment before installing a rear camber kit, but it was corrected when the camber kit was installed. I, then, got another alignment and had no problems. Now, I just rotated the tires after the recommended oil change and it's all f*cked up again. What could be causing this??? Do I need to get another alignment? Or to readjust the camber? TIA (Thanx in advance)

my steering was vibrateing bad at 60+ mph after rotating my tires. Have your tires rebalanced, this corrected my problem.

mine vibrated to when i rotated my own tires but that's because i didn't TORQUE my lug nuts!!! After Alex from "SPEED FETISH" (on this site) torqued them for me it stopped shaking!!!

It's not that it's really vibrating so much, it's just steering bad. Almost like the steering wheel is more loose and then whenever I turn a certain way, the car keeps pulling in that direction. (i.e. Make a sharp left turn, alignment pulls left and vice versa.)

hmmm..either get your wheels aligned again or rebalance them. my steering wheel vibrates like crazy between 60mph and 80mph because my rims are bent.
