    Alignment???

    Hi, I know if I searched I could probably find the answer I need but I'm a bit tight for time.
    I'm getting bad vibrations in the steering wheel and car in general in the 318is after a few minutes at 100km/h. It goes away if I slow down and stop but it happens everyone I pick up speed to around there. Checked wheels and tyres and them seem full and tight.
    Recently lowered and new coilovers in so maybe it's alignment???
    If so anyone know anywhere good and quick? Cost also etc? I'm currently in castleknock/blanch area.
    Thanks in advance,

    Chris

    Dave mc canns in coolmine , or discount tyres in Rosemount business park ballycoolin just inside the main gate on the finglas rd entrance

    Doubt its alignment though that would lead more to a pull left or right , have you lost some wheel balancing weights off the wheel maybe ?

    Sticking caliper can also be an issue check for excessive heat around the wheel after a drive

    Thanks lads,great to get some advice fast. perhaps it is the weights? I drive up form Dundalk last Sunday an no problems but I noticed this on the M50 yesterday. I'll give those lads a shout, get the free check done and see what's what.
    Also need a small crack in an alloy welded, anyone know anywhere good? The same place. Once again in thanks for the help.
