Car Vibrating

OK. this is my situation. My car vibrates when i drive. My steering whell vribrates. Everyone tells me its because i got rims and new tires. I dont know if it is because alignment or balancing. I could feel it really bad when im on the freeway. The steering wheel rocks back and forth like its posessed. Also Im having the rattle noise from my suspension like alot of people have. I turn the corner slow and the car makes this rattling noise. Its only when i turn corners. Help me guys

This is in the wrong forum, but thats ok....first of all, did you buy the rims/tires from an online store where they come pre-balanced? In your situation, sounds like the wheels are out of balance....it wouldn't be a bad idea to get an alignment at the time, but thats not required....sounds like you need a re-balancing...be prepared, I took mine back several times before they got it right!

Yeah, I think 2Hottie got it. I drove an entirely stock Camry and the thing shook like crazy over 60-70 mph. We got it rebalanced and the steering wheel is smooth. Go balance it.
