Axle bind??

Hello I've recently installed eibach sport likes on my cobalt LS I've noticed that I get a vibrating sometimes at high speeds sometimes at low speeds and sometimes not at all. could this be axle bind? Keep in mind I never got an allinement and my tires are pretty bad. I'm switching back to my summer 17" wheels in a week or so and am having them balanced and all that. If this dosent solve my problem what's my next step? Rack spacers? I don't know. But Is riding with them bad? Will the axle snap within 10,000 miles? I don't mind the vibration is it fine to ride on it or will it destroy my car?

Eibach sports wouldn't be giving you axle bind, they're not low enough. Is it vibrating at high speeds while braking or just intermittently?

Alignment is advised when changing springs. Mine did the same thing till I got it done. Or you can just wear your tires out faster.

Car is at the mechanic now getting new brakes allinement and balancing the guy told me the alignment would take more than a couple of hours to do because I had "so much camber" lol haha but after this gets done I'm sure it will be fine thanks for helping me out guys!
