Default Vibrations At speed HELP ME

Im getting vibrations in my front end from about 60 mph on up. it is especialy apparent in hard curves. I just had the CA bushings, ball joints, and CV axles done, but i had the tires balanced before this was done. also i havent had the car alligned yet. Any ides?

Lets review

1. 90 cs non-quattro vibrates at high rates of speed.
2. Ball joints, CA bushings, CVaxles done last month.
3. Alignment is off a tad. tires were balanced and rotated before work was done.

any ideas whats causing the vibraations?

Default get that alignment done! #1 priority. Then get the wheels rebalanced. those machines are...

notoriously unreliable.

personally I always balance each wheel twice. Do it the first time, rotate the wheel on the machine ~45 deg, lock it down, balance it again. If alls good, have fun, if not, start again.

Too many rims&tires, too many shaky steering wheels, this is why I do this now

Good luck.

Does it get worse when you step on brakes?

check wheel bearings are tight and if tight, in good condition.
