Nasty Vibration
Nasty Vibration Over the holidays my car got a new radiator, heater core, plugs, wires, pcv valve, water pump, and thermostat. I also unfucked my exhaust rattle. It runs much better than it used too except that now at 50mph under slight throttle the car bucks back and forth rather violently. It almost feels as if the engine is bogging down but the RPMs don't reflect that. The only thing that comes into my mind is maybe the drive shaft.
I also believe I have a loose rocker because of a fairly loud tick (can be heard over my exhaust) that increases with engine speed, especially under load.
It also has the noisiest ******* alternator known to man.
Any insight would be much appreciated.

I Strongly believe you may have a misfire issue. The air blowing around in your engine compartment is causing the wires to arc off of something. Got headers? Could be that. Take a few minutes to look around under there.
