Car lifted from center of front end....what happened??
They were replacing a set of tires, and when I came back to pick up my car, I noticed they had my front end lifted with a hydraulic lift, but the lift was making contact directly in the center of my front end, as opposed to the contact being on the sides of the car where the jack points are. Now when I am driving over 60mph (so mostly on the highway/freeways), I feel a vibration through the steering wheel. It feels as if the wheels were not balanced, but not as profound as that. It's minimal, but is bugging the hell out of me. Should I call tucker tires and complain? I don't know what the problem is, or where the jack was making contact at, but I know when I came back I saw them lowering my car with a hydraulic car tha was centered in front of my car and lifting the whole front end from being mounted in the center. What components do you think they may have put the jack under that could cause this problem with the vibration.

take the car back and have them rebalanced check for runout
Sometimes their version of "Ok" runout will give you fits like this
Watch them while they spin it if you can stand right in front of the tread where you can look at it dead on, ck sidewall also. I was shocked at how bad a few i recently bought were
Dont leave til its right.
