Default Re: **Civic shakes and turns left** (over 120km/h or 75mph)

On the other hand, if you had a tire slightly out of balance (because of a
chuckhole...slamming on the brakes... etc) but it was on the rear, you might
not have noticed it. Now that it is on the front, however, it becomes
noticable. It would be a good idea to have the tires spinbalanced...
depending upon your source of tires, this may be a free service anyway.
Also, be sure that they do not overtorque the lugnuts.
