Car is Vibrating!!
Car is Vibrating!! I just noticed that my front right tire is wearing out sooner than the front left. I have also noticed that my steering wheel vibrates when I hit 50 MPH, but goes away after 70MPH. If I am driving into a curve at any speed over 45MPH it will do the same. The Best way to describe it is driving around with loose lug nuts. Is it possible that all I need is an alignment?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like imbalanced wheels/tires or a tire that has deformed. Have them road-force balanced. This is different than a normal balance. Not only does it balance the wheel, it also takes into account the force of the road agains the tire. This can reveal tires that have a heavy spot, are out of round, or deflect improperly.
If you have a tire that is worn out, replace it and the one on the other side too (always replace tires in pairs). And since one side is wearing faster than the other, it sounds like you need an aligment too.

depends on how bad the tire wear is. mine is horrible so ill wait get new tires and get alignment too. i heard that if the tires are to badly worn unevenly then they cannot do a alignment. dont know if its true though.
