Default Strange noises after alignment...

2004.5 350Z 6MT Touring

Long story made short, but I hit a metal object on the road, knocked my alignment a little out, and got my shop (not Nissan) to do an alignment. He adjusted all four. Seemed fine until...

Going on the highway, at highway speeds even a slight turn of the wheel, or into a corner the car's tires make a buzzing noise. Is this feathering? This was NOT present before the alignment. Maybe the tech used old specs, don't know. It seems to handle ok but a little oversteer IMO.

I am getting Nissan to do an alignment Wednesday themselves.

Where can I get the link for the revised alignment specifications for 04.5+ ? I'm confident Nissan has them, but I just want piece of mind.

What did you hit? you can't hear feathering.

Its highly possible that you bent/broke something when you hit this "metal object."

I hit some kind of metal object, hard enough to knock the (please forgive my noobness) front right lower (control arm?) / subframe bolt a hair back.

No damage, but now after this so called alignment, I can hear my tires slightly roar when I make slight corners at highway speeds. You can also feel a slight vibration when you're cornering as well. This was not present before.
