Can a poor alignment cause vibration in the steering wheel and gas pedal at 75+ mph?

maybe a wheel is out of balance?

B56

but maybe they didn't. I'm hoping its not a bent wheel

MB The Body

I could be wrong about that though. It could be as simple as a wheel wait falling off after they put them on maybe?

I recently got a flat too....when they were balancing the wheel, they called me over to talk. The rim was bent....there is a little vibration at high speeds, but they were successfully able to balance it correctly

I hate when they "called you over to talk". that sucks. I hope my wheel isn't bent.

I had that once. It was a blister in the tire. But it sounds like you have a new tire.

Mrkrad

you'll see real quick or can put your hand on the rim and feel any run out or bends.

a bad tire cannot balance too i've seen $300 tires from the factory impossible to balance.

I assume they used a hunter roadforce balancer. If not spend more $$ and go to a real tire shop. seriously. pep boys has them around here now. they score your rim and tire combination to give you the best possible ride.

i think my friend that did it said that it balanced pretty well.

Mrkrad

it would cause a shudder when breaking at high speeds, i just turned them 3 times
