Default RE: Alignment?????

Sounds more like a dynamic wheel balance issue than alignment. Assuming that they were balanced, how was it done? Where are the weights - all in one plane on the inside? It's also possible that you've thrown one or more of the weights.

BTW, an old racer's trick is to use duct tape to make sure that stick-ons stay stuck, and it isn't even all that visible except, perhaps,in wheels having a really "open" design.

Try removing the rotor retaining clip on each of the front wheels. Just remove the tire, and on one of the studs you'll see a round star washer/retaining clip. Take that off. They are put on at the factory to hold the rotor in place before the brakes are put on. Hopefully, that might work. I know it worked for me.

Good luck!
