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? Or should I be fine riding on it cause I don't really mind it if it won't destroy my car

I have been riding on sportlines with my g5 for about 4 years. You will be fine, it is not able bind. Must be bad tired and alignment that you need.

Not axle bind.

Try the different set of tires and see what happens then.
