Default Do I need alignment?

OK just have rotors turned and brake fluid bleeded and now car is shaking on freeway. Around town seems fine and braking seems fine. Re-torque wheels twice and still shakes on freeway - do I need an alignment?!

You may need an alignment, but the problem you're describing sounds more like a wheel balance issue.

I vote for a re-balance as well. It's an inexpensive a fix.

i had the same problem but mine was due to the fact the my alignment was so bad that the whole inside of my right tire was completely bald and it had made some big ball on the inside so everytime i drove it felt like my wheel was about to fall off
then finally i was on the freeway and it popped on me..i thought it was my axle or soemthing when to the tire shop and yeah that tire was ugly

The car tracks fine before I did the brake job, so I don't think it will be a wheel balance issue?? Though, I did rotate the front and rear tire... Anyone?

the rear tires might have not been balanced...so when u rotated them it cause the unbalanced to go upfront...u wont really notice them if they are unbalanced in the back....thats the prob right there

that might be the problem since the front of ur car is heavier and it put more pressure on your front tires..i had this problem before and i checked all the air on my tires made sure they were balanced and i was good to go good luck tho

oh yeah also it did this to my friends car in his gsr around town its ok until he hit the freeway and accel from about 60mph+ it started shaken then he replaced his axels and it drive perfectly fine now
