Arrow Slight shaking after getting alignment...

I had springs installed on my car a week ago. Yesterday I took it in for an alignment. I notice on the freeway that my car has a very slight shaking feel to it every few seconds, almost rhythmic. Anyone know what it might be? Are computer alignments better than the other method? Mine was computer aligned.

If your wheels are balanced, then it may be a bad toe adjustment. Take it back to the shop and have them re-check the alignment....If that's fine get the wheels balanced. I've been through this crap before...It's a pain in the @ss.

Make sure that you don't have a rear tire up front. When I had my suspension installed, a front and rear wheel got swapped by accident and the car would shudder at 80+ in a rythmic fashion. On, off, on, off. If your wheels are not swapped, you have a tire balance issue.

Wheels are mounted where they should be.
