Default JUST PUT IN SHOCKS/COILOVERS AND CAMBER KIT..NOW RUMBLING when driving?

i just put in bilstien shocks, ground control coilovers....and full camber kit all the way around all 4 corners, rear disc conversion, front AEM big brake kit...a few strut bars car is a jdm h22 civic EG also put in a transmission and driver side shaft ....but heres the story

I got it from the shop and i took it for a drive and it feels like my tires r flat all the way aroung cuz it feels like rumbling or something, as if the tires/wheels are running all different directions..as if they were wobbly... the shop who did the install said it was because i need an allignment...all the way around is this true?

or could it be the hub bearings? something to do with the tranny...shaft ??
does a camber kit usually do this after an install if you dont get an allignment?
any help would be help because i left the car there untill i was sure if it wasnt something they did during he install of all that stuff

OMG dude any suspension work needs an alignment afterwards

Get a 4 wheel alignment, and if its still not tracking right, bring it back to the shop who installed it all.

well if your toe is that bad...maybe it'd be the case. Some low profile tires will do that when worn. Do an alignment, i got mine done at the dealership this morning for 70 bucks canadian. If you still have rumbling, then let us know

if they did the job right without seperating the spindle, you don't need an alignment that bad. maybe they left something lose. if i was you i would get an alignment, if something is wrong that they did it will show. and if they did do something wrong then you can point it out with the alignment paper work.

what kind of camber kit?
be sure your upper arms up front aren't colliding with your wheel wells.

and yes, its a good idea to have it aligned after a rear disc conversion....and after installing a camber kit....i'm surprised the "shop" let you drive it out without mentioning it..
