A year ago I got new rims/tires. Had them installed, balanced and had the car re-aligned at SEARS (worked there so got a discount...) Anyways, they balanced it 3 times because I brought it in to have it re-done since I was getting the old steering wheel shake/vibrations. It still wasn't perfect the third time around though and a week ago I brought it in to goodyear to have it balanced...again...well it's still doing it . I also feel slight vibrations in the pedals slowing down/speeding up at lower speeds. Also, the car still doesn't steer straight even though I had it aligned; they had to drill new holes for relocation or something and said it would be perfect but it hasn't been...Is there something wrong w/ my suspension? I'd really like it to stop doing these annoying things, granted they're not that noticeable to anyone else but me...

Forgot to add that the car is lowered just a little bit and I did do a LT install prior to all this...but it never did it until the new tires/rims..could something have loosened up?

have you had the same tires?? what kind are they? sometimes tires can give you alot of vibration and noise... might be the culprit, pending on how bad the vibration is......

Yup, same tires since I got the rims...they were 245's before then I switched to 255/275 bfgoodrich g-force sport I believe. I still have my old tires/rims...I guess I could try to switch the tires out and see if it makes a difference

Reason I ask, is because I have 275 BFG g force kdw2's on my rear, and they are pretty loud... I guess I've gotten pretty used to it, or I just crank the radio.

did they balance them on a machine that measures road force?

I have no idea about the type of balancing they used.

The Hunter GSP9700 will measure road force on the tires and wheels and match them up to have the lowest amount. It will also check runout on the wheels.

Could be drive shaft vibration.
