i never got an alignment but ya my steering wheel did vibrate... took it to the same shop 3 times but it still vibrated, took it to america tires for $25 and they fixed it. the first shop wasnt placing the weights on the right spot. they put it on the side closest to the middle of the car when they were supposed to put it on the side away from the middle of the car. but ya to my knowledge, an alignment does really cause the steering wheel to vibrate, its mainly hub rings or a poor balancing job.

which america tires did you go to and what did you tell them?
my alignment is off, do you think they could do my alignment right, since they know how to balence the rims right?

you know what, i'm not even sure if they do alignments. i dont rememebr seeing an alignment rack. i took it to the one in northridge/granada hills area. here's there website america's tires they have alot of locations around the US.
n FYI, they're different from discount tires(www.discounttires.com)
oh and when i went, i basically was pretty sure it was the balancing. mainly because, with my stock tires everything was fine. each time the other place balanced the wheels, i would see a different number of weights on the wheels. yes my car was leaning to the right but i've heard it shouldnt cause vibration. so ya i just told them i needed a balancing, also told them the situation i was in and he said he couldnt guarentee it. i took a risk and i was right.
