alignment quastion
alignment quastion apearantly the dealership that i got the car from didnt have the key for the secure lugnuts (the ones that prevent theft of the tire), so do i need to take off the tires for alignment? because my car shakes a little bit when i drive, it feels as if i am driving on uneven surface. Would alignment even do it? or should i do balancing as well? Any ideas where to get the key to get the safety lugnuts off? Thanks guys

Sounds like a suspension issue, but could be balance, unlikely to be an alignment issue.
Does it happen at all speeds or certain speeds? Balance issues typically occur in a particular range of speeds. Suspension problems can be at any speed.
Secure lugnuts are useless. Snapon makes a left hand thread lugnut remover... it goes atop the lugnut and bites into it while being turned counter clockwise. Damages the lugnut, but gets it off in no time.
