Call Burt's Alignment in VA Beach and talk to Chris Alvarez. It's probably a good drive from where you're at, but it'll be worth it. He does a great job. I think it's about $275 to set the toe, caster, and camber.

are you looking for a stock alignment or a custom setup?

Need more information. Does it vibrate ALL the time? Or does it vibrate at a certain speed, under acceleration, left turns only, or right turns only?

prolly gonna go with the inner tie rod ends or ball joints. not to familiar with the setup on the mvIV celly's, so i won't be of too much help. may wanna ask the geek, he'll know more than likely.
and umm the thing about your girls vibrator, umm i really hope that's information you DON'T know. Otherwise it's a direct message from her somone isn't quite doing the trick...

You need a mechanic not only a alignment.

Unhappy

well it just vibrates at highway speeds id say around 60 to 80 mph around town it does fine except under heavy acceleration. then it kinda shimmies in the steering wheel. i dunno im at a loss as to what the prob might be. but at highway speeds it shimmies all the time badly...............
