Alright so I found out my alignment was off cuz it ate up the inside of my tires so after I got wheels and tires I got my alignment done. Keep in mind before all that my car would shake at like 60-70 mph and then 80+...
So after the alignment when im driving straight my steering wheel is off to the left a bit and it still does the whole shaking thing, could it be my tie rod and ball joints or could it be something else?

If you hold your steering wheel completely straight, and your car veers to the right or left its your alignment. If you hold your steering wheel completely straight and your car does not veer right or left but shakes, its most likely a tire balance problem.

if the shop you went to did an alignment on your car with worn parts, that is a shitty shop. they should also have aligned your steering wheel so it is straight.

yeah they didnt align the wheel... before they did the alignment the wheel was straight but after it got jacked up... Also when I hold my steering wheel completely straight it will veer to the right... I have to hold my steering wheel to the left in order to keep the car straight
