Default alignment issues? ? help please

Car had d2s and I switched back to stock suspension. Other than that nothing else was changed. But now at almost anything above 35 has somewhat of bad vibrations. i know I noticed my carrier bearing sagging a bit but I'm sure its been like that.

Vibrations aside, was the car aligned after the stock suspension was reinstalled? If not, it certainly needs to be. I've never had bad alignment cause vibration problems. Do you feel it in the steering wheel? Is it speed dependent? Could be a wheel out of balance.

You need an alignment, which wouldn't cause your vibration, but you changed quote a few specs. I'd get your wheels balanced too.

Yea I know I need an alignment but wasn't sure if that could Cause some vibration. I can feel it in the steeringwheel and the floorboard. It doesn't get any better or worse. Just has a vibration at around 35mph and up. Weird it sat for almost 2 weeks with the wheels on and car on jackstands. And now it has vibrations. Ill get an alignment and balanced and go from there. Thanks
