I just bought new balanced tires and had an alignment done on my car. As I drive through 20-23, 35-40, and 70-75+ the car vibrates violently. Also if I drive at one of those problem speeds and turn right the car vibration increases, but if I turn left the car smooths out and has no vibration. What's wrong with me car?

Did this happen right after you put the tires on?

If so, you may have a defective tire, loose wheel nuts, or a real loose wheel bearing. I would take it back to the shop and have them check it out.

The vibration was occuring before the new tires. It is why I bought new tires. I feel that there might be a problem in the wheel u joints or that with the independent suspension one of the wheels is just so slightly out of alignment. I am going back on Monday though FYI.

You have no u-joints on your vehicle.

It is most likely a wheel bearing assuming the new tire and rim is not defective and was installed and balanced properly.
