Default Allignment help

So my rear tires were wearing out really quick because of the negative camber.

So I rolled my fenders and took it to my allignment shop and had him adjust the camber for a more tire friendly allignment.

Now my car doesn't even handle as good, It seems there is so much more body roll.

Also now my car has a weird vibration at 45 mph. Is that possible? The allignment guy says that it has nothing to do with it but I find it weird that I am now getting this vibration right after he does the allignment. And it is exactly at 45 mph and I feel it in my rear end.

Thanks,

Jesse P

It could be the uneven wear of the tires that causing the vibration.

It wouldn't be that because I took my car from the allignment shop to discount and got two new rear tires.

Maybe they didn't do such a good job of balancing the new tires. ???

Hmmm, not sure I can help you with that. Any weird noises that go along with the vibration?
