Yep. Your wheels would have been balanced to the old alignmentHow do you know if a custom intake is too small or too big?
rebalance, doesnt work take it to mechanic see about a motor problem possibly. It not always tires when that happensWhy are people always bagging on mechanics?
Balancing should always be part of any work you do on the tires.Location of Oxygen Sensor on 97 Mercedes Benz?
Take the car back to where the front-end alignment was doneand have the Mgr. test drive the car with U inside passenger
seat. Take your bill with U& tell them U are not satisfied with
the way the car is. Do "Not" give them anymore money. If they
give U a song & dance, take them to small claims court.

They either didn't balance your wheels correctly, or didn't do the alignment correctly...or when they put your wheels back on, the brakes were moved and now your rotors are being eaten (by the misaligned brake pads...) take it to another place that does alignments, take the manager for a ride, then if they need to do work, call the FIRST place you went to, have the manager talk to them, either they do it right, or get your money back for poor service. (also report them to the Better Business Bureau and if you need to, take them to small claims court, if they refuse to honor the waranty...I assume they gave you one...make sure you have all the paperwork.)It sounds like one tire is out of balance. Either a weight was knocked off while the car was being aligned, or you have a defective tire!
If the same shop did the tires and alignment, take it back and they should redo the job at no charge!!
Not necessarily. The problem could be in the alignment. If you had all the work done at the same time, there should be no problem with balance. Unless one of your tires threw out one of the weights. That would do it as well. Take it back and have them check the balance, then have them check the alignment. That should not happen.
Take it back and make them fix it. You should absolutely not be charged again either. You already paid to have it fixed and fixed right. They should have been balanced before they were installed. It could also be something to do with the alignment. I had this done one time and the idiots forgot to tighten the lug nuts on a wheel. Fortunately i knew something was very wrong as soon as i drove out of their parking lot and went right back.

This is a little more serious, but I have to mention it. If the people who install your tires don't know that you can only use 80 ft/lbs. of torque on disc brake rotors and turn an impact wrench up higher, then they can warp your rotors(just by pulling the bolts). If a rebalance doesn't solve it, then consider this worst-case scenario.How do I get rid of the gross smell in my car?
having the tires rebalanced is a good place to start. most tire shops offer free rotate and balances when you buy the tires from them. The alignment will NOT cause the steering wheel to shake. symptoms of an alignment problem are car pulling left or right, car wandering, tire wear, steering wheel not returning. (most of these could also be caused by a tire). If a tire balance dose not fix your problem (most likely will) you need to have the problem diagnosed by a front end shop. good luck.A repair manual says to apply "Sealant 1052080 or 9985253 to the threads of part. where do I buy it?
check your wheel rims but you can check it only by balancing itCan I put ATF sealant in my leaking gear box on a 93 300 SE Benz?
Vibrations at highway speed are due to improper tire balance. Alignments NEVER cause vibrations. It's fascinating to see how many people think they do, but they don't.wat is a car electronic ancillary system ? where can i get blovck diagrams?
And no, they didn't screw around with your brakes either (unless you had some brake work done your not telling us about).
What is the meaning of the following letters in an automatic car; P, R, N, D4, D3, 2 & 1?
Since the tires were just mounted an incorrect balance is far and away the most likely candidate. The balance could have either been poorly done or a wheel wieght may have just come off (it happens). Take it back to the shop where the tires were installed and have them re-balance the tires.

I've got 5 years experience in the tire industry BTW so I'm not just guessing like these other folks. I see balance issues EVERY DAY.
i hooked up an OBD II reader to my car but it won't read anything...what's the problem?
Have your service tech re-check your tires to make sure they are balanced properly. You many also have a bent rim and did not notice it with your old tires.Also... make sure that the tech did a full front end inspection before doing your alignment. He should have done a thorough inspection of the ball joints, tie rod ends, struts, (if applicable) etc. If any one of these parts need replaced, you will need to get another alignment. I would then be telling your mechanic that it had better be done at no charge.
couple of things come to mind here start with balance, then you may have a rotor out of shape as well even thought they didnt do any work to that it can happen,,,, if you had all this done at one place they should do the rebalance for free or at least check everything out to let you know what it is as well
