hmm. All Franco said is tru. If your car gets jacked up, it never feels right after the fact. If anything try to list whatever is "not normal" with the car so the veterans here can give you some advice. But from your description of what happened, this is tru especially if you screw up your sus.

Mogis a ****.. (had to add this to stay on topic. gaaahahahahaha)

I noticed that all of my rims have 6 rim weights on the inside, but my front left, in addition to the weights on the inside, it also has 4 on the outside. Would this cause anything? :-/

Did you have the wheels balanced before or after the incident? If not, try getting them rebalanced and see what happens. Some of the wheels on my car (stock) have bigger weights on some and barely any on others.

I had a mishap with the dealership and I had told them to only do the suspension work. Well, they also bought me a new rim and a new tire, so what I did was got a pretty good discount on those two parts and then went and bought 3 new tires the next day after coming home. The car drove like crap when I drove it home from the dealership, but I believe that was because I had 1 new tire and 3 tires with 36k on them, it was time for new tires anyways... So I took it to a local shop in town that I bought tires from earlier and had them do the job. I assume they balanced the tires :-/ So should I take the car back to the place where I bought the tires and see if they can rebalance them and if that'll make a dif?

Look at the invoice when you got your new tires and see if they did throw in the rebalance and not just gave you new tires. I usually took my old 2.5RS to the Firestone dealer since they gave out lifetime rebalancing if you bought a tire from them.. They usually throw in the balance for free..

But from what it sounds like, it might not have been balanced.
