I recently swapped out the UCA's on my 97 Integra ,from OEM to Skunk2's. I got the car aligned a couple weeks after. Everything felt fine, until I started driving in the 80+mph range. Once you hit 80, you'll begin to feel a mild vibration. Then at 90 and up, the vibration becomes violent, causing the wheels to hop or something. You'll hear the tires as if they were looking for traction.

Off hand, my guess is the tires are unbalanced. ANyone have similar experiences or maybe a second opinion based on my info?

 

Yea it does sound like you wheels or tires are imbalanced, not enough to notice at low speeds but obviously enough to make it violently shake. Check you tires for some tread seperation too.

Would signs of tread seperation simply be areas where the tire looks like its expanding or would there be something distinctive about it?
