when I first took for a road test I noticed shaking and vibration, the dealer said you need new set of tires
I bought 4 Michelen tires and the dealer did a recall on the rear pushings and also informed me that the vibration is because of the suspensions. I changed the front suspensions and I still have vibrartion when I drive on the highway from 50 miles and up.
The vibrartion has been in the seat and I feel it in my legs. The vibration improved a little after all this work and after the dealer did force balance but I still feel the vibration from 50 and up especially when turning left or right. The car is not ver smooth. I did rear alignment only
Could it be that I need to do alignment.
Thank you

Hi there,

If you are feeling the vibration in the body and not the steering the problem will be in the rear wheels, get them check for any alignment and balance issue.
