need Suspension help
I recently blew i tire on my way to work and i really think it F my suspension. First i thought it was that i went with tires to big because it felt like it was rubbing but i know that is not the case anymore because even going straight my tires feel like they are floating. I need to fix this but i dont know what the problem could be and would like a someone with more experience to tell me what i need to do to fix it. Is there a shop i could take it to, to find out what the problem may be? thanks

I'd just take it to the dealer for an alignment and talk to the tech that dies it and tell him what happened so he can keep a look out for any damaged components.
Did you have more than one tire replaced? If not, the diff. between the older and new tire could be the cause of what you are feeling. Also new tires tend to feel squirly for a while until they are broken in, so it may be nothing.

If the car isn't pulling to one side and you can't visibly see anything that looks noticably off with the camber of the wheels, it may just be that the tires need to break in. If you have some miles on the car, it wouldn't hurt to get it aligned, though, and checked out, just to be on the safe side.

is your car on coilovers or lowered if so you may have camber issues but if its stock you may want to see if they rebalanced your tires before they mounted the new ones you should do that every time you add tires and you should get an alignment anyways too

The SPC camber arm kit is $218.00 + tax
This includes:
-(2) camber arms
-(2) eccentric bolts for toe correction
Installation would be best quoted by Tim and you can call him direct here.
