What's up guys! Got 2 questions, hoping you guys can give me some advice.

Q1: Bought my car about 5 months ago, never found out if the last owner did an alignment...should I go in for alignment? Also, noticed the car pulls to the right when I do the "no hands" test.

Q2: At speeds above 80 mph, there is a very noticeable steering wheel vibration. And, at speed over 100 mph steering wheel vibration is greatly intensify and its very disturbing. This can't be normal right? Could this problem be related to alignment? If I was to diagnosis this problem, where should I start looking?

Thanks for any input guys!

Q1: If it pulls get it aligned

Q2: probably check your tires.

Thanks zachlone. The tires I have were bought brand new so I dont think it's a problem of uneven wear or things like that. Also, I properly rotate the tires front to back every 5k.

ya but one could be out of balance

Could even be a bent rim.

I would definitely go for an alignment. The TL is very "finikey" when it comes to the alignment.

Undying dreams, I looked at all the rims, bent rim doesn't seem to be the issue. I think the tires are off balance...but im not totally sure.

When you say "finikey", what do you mean by that?

means that the TL gets off alignment VERY easy.
Finicky - Fussy.

and how can you tell by eye, that the rim isnt bent?
it could be....

get it aligned.
and if wheel wobble is still persistent, go back to who installed your tires and get it re-balanced
