Default please help!

confused.gif I have a 01 tiburon and when i am driving, my car rocks back and forth almost like its very windy outside. It gets worse at higher speeds. I had lowering springs on and rims and tires but i took them off along time ago. I replaced the struts both front and rear and got an alignment but i still have the problem. Im not sure if its the sway bar or what. My friend looked at my car and he said the sway bar seemed fine. So i am at a loss. Please if anyone has any idea of what this could be tell me. confused.gif

Thanks

wheel bearing.
drive on it for another month and it will start to shake bad at ALL speeds, and make a horrible noise too.
i would suggest taking a look at this/getting it changed soon. make sure it's a bearing, then order one from a parts store (only like $25).

Probably a bearing, but make sure it isn't something simple, such as a bald/underinflated tire or an unbalanced wheel.

When you say rock back and forth, are you talking side to side? (left to right)
Sounds like your tires are WAY over inflated and outta balanced.
