Shakes or Wobbles problem
1998 Toyota Sienna 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 124,00 miles

I recently had my minivan Inspected(PA). I needed the inner tie rods replaced and an alignment along with getting 4 new tires. Over the past year I also have had new struts and shocks installed. After the inspection my car vibrates at high speeds(55-65). It never has done this until after the tie rods and alignment was done. The one thing I noticed during the alignment was when the repairman was aligning the car he had the top 4 computer lights green and the bottom two were red. He took a wrench and adjusted a rod under the drivers side and not the passenger side and aligned the car until all 6 lights were green. Also when I left the repair shop the backing plates were rubbing. That was fixed. I took the car back and they don't know what the problem is with the vibrating. I have to take it back them next week. I forgot to add the the alignment was done before the new tires were installed. I had to wait a week for the new tires(no alignment was done after the tires were put on). The vibration started to occur after the inner tie rods were installed. I also had new back drums put on at the same time as the inner tie rods were intalled. Could faulty or the wrong drums be a possible cause for the vibration? I also had sway bar bushings installed along with front strut links this past week. I noticed that there is play in the right side front strut link and I can rotate the link by hand(after the installation). Could this be a cause for the vibration?

some times putting the alignment sensors on wheels will cause the weight to move or fault out
I would have the tires rechecked for high speed balance
