Default freeway issues??? alignment??

Ok, so i got a new set of tires last week but I didn't have the place align my car. Everything has been going fine until yesterday on the freeway I noticed my car slightly bouncing around from side to side. I still have control of my car it just feels like i dont because it is swaying from the rear end (i think). Any suggestions...? Should I take it to get aligned... or is that not the problem? Ohh and I am lowered on Goldline springs and had it aligned after the install (3-4 months ago)

any help is appricated, thanks.

it might be due to the weak grip of the tires or lack of grip because of new tires.

alignment? no the best way to check for alignment is by looking at the tire thread and how its been riding.


or it coud be your shocks are going out and causing your ride ot bounce a little more

Maybe you need balancing.

That used to happen in my lowered accord. it feels like the car is wiggling in the back. in my best opinion, i think it has to do with the shocks in the back. did u change them when u lowered it or are u still riding on stocks? mine were pretty worn out when i started noticing that problem so i figured that must be the answer.

Yo King of Duarte. Did the guys who put on the new tires balance them? who installed them.. by the way I know a place that does computer alignment for $50 or so.. and not too far from you.. over there on the end of 60 west/ 710 check if the weights are on the rim before you take it for alignment. Well PM me if you need directions and stuff if you decide to align
