I just completed installation of KWv2 coil-overs, tension struts, and control arms. (Note: Strut Bearings were replaced) I drove the car for a couple miles after the install and waited two weeks for the suspension to settle before having the alignment done. After having the alignment completed I have noticed some vibration feedback from steering wheel (not speed sensitive). I have also noticed at lower speeds a slight left and right rocking motion of the steering. I have had a mechanic look over the suspension to see if there was anything loose or if the tie-rods were bad but did not find anything wrong. I also swapped my wheels with a set of stock wheels to see if the wheels and tires were the issue but still experience the same issues. I have posted below my alignment settings. Note I just noticed my front camber settings were the same after alignment. Could these camber settings be the source of the issue? Is there anything else that could cause this issue.
