just got my tires changed on Monday and ever since the car has vibrated between 50-60 mph ive had the tires rebalanced 3 times the tires and rims have been checked for bad spots all of which have came back fine. I even got an alignment done when I got the tires so.idk what else it could be. help plz

was the alignment rechecked?
all suspension and steering points were inspected by alignment shop?

Check your CV boots.... your inner cv joint may be damaged... Thats whats happening in my car right now...

Hey Corey2GTLS, were you experiencing the same vibrating before changing the tires and having the alignment ?

Try rotating the tires from front to rear. Check the suspension parts, drive shafts, brakes and wheel bearings for wear. Properly torque the lugs.

Happened to me when the wheel went slightly out of round and the tire place "balanced" it, but being out of round caused a shimmy at certain speeds.

I rotated my tires from from to back and now it doesn't do it so idk. I do need new cv boots tho cuz when I hit small bumps it makes a funny noise

you should be able to hear a clicking sound if the outer joint is worn... That only happens while turning... The vibration happens cause the inner joint is worn... Jack it up and inspect all the boots

the more and more i read about these stupid vibrations at hwy speeds and people having multiple alignments and re-balances...the one other item to add to the list of culprits: LCA compliance bushings (assuming everything else checks out ok). i'm convinced this is the issue with my car after all the stuff i've had done to my car to eliminate this hwy speed vibration.

i had this vibration with the last set of tires. here is the sequence of things i have already gone through just to help you guys out:
-replaced tires b/c they were done. vibration still there.
-i had an alignment done (everything in spec).
-the wheels and tires were rebalanced with road force balance (there were no bends in the wheels)...less but still there.
-i had a worn inner CV on one axle (vibration upon acceleration from 15-40 mph, in the wheel and in the car) and a worn outer CV on the other (click in cold weather with turns). the boots were fine with both on visual inspection. I had both axles replaced and the vibration was still there (the click was gone and vibration upon acceleration was gone)
-6 mos later upgraded my suspension and had another alignment done (again everything was on point once the dealer was done). still have a subtle vibration at hwy speeds that seems to come and go when it pleases (the same one that annoyes me)
-i read the massive thread about the LCA compliance bushings going bad (with a little help from another member pointing me to the thread to give it a look over) and causing hwy speed vibrations...i have yet to visually inspect my bushings, but i suspect they are the culprit in this subtle steering wheel vibration that continues to plague my driving experience.

so with all that said....good luck...vibrations are annoying esp felt through the steering wheel.

It may be something else worn besides the CV's. Check all the suspension components and bushings. Also check the wheel bearings.
