Post Alignment Needed?

My car vibrates around high speeds like 60mph or higher. My steering wheel also vibrates and it is difficult to maintain the steering wheel straight(and the car) at highway speeds making it look like im somehow "drunk" or trying to swerve or something. Not to mention my car's rear is not how its supposed to be(the driver side is definitely higher than the passenger's, about 2-2.5 inches). Would it be a shock or something? The springs seem to be fine. Thanks.

Vibration is wheel balance - not alignment. Check all 4 springs for any broken coils and check the rears for the rubber insulators that go in the top. If all is good, it's time for new springs. You can get "take offs" cheap - SLP sometimes has them or check the boards, or go for lowering springs from one of our sponsors.
