Default Strange Vibration/Noise

Alright well my car has a medium strength vibration. The whole car basically vibrates when im going 20+ Mph. It never did this until about 1 month or so ago. I believe it has something to do with my suspension. Its all stock but springs and cc plates. Springs are eibach sportlines. I have included some pics from both sides of the car. Any ideas? All tires are in good shape and have already had an alignment done after i installed the springs and cc plates. Do you think it could be that i need a bumpsteer kit?

When i am on a slight turn and the turn is to the right the vibration goes away completely . But not to the left ONLY the right. Here on some pics:::

Tire out of balance?? Maybe you lost a wheel weight.

My first thought is tire out of balance also.
Did you do a search? I seem to remember reading something similar and it turned out to be either the tierod ends or the swaybar downlinks (or whatever their technical terms are).
Do you trust the person that did the alignment? This wasn't on a mustang, but I once had an alignment where they must not have torqued the bolts right and they came loose on the upper A... it was quite a shock to be traveling down the freeway and all of a sudden find yourself almost thrown across a couple of lanes. Luckily there wasn't anybody beside me then.

Does it do the vibration at any other speeds?

A wheel imbalance would build in intensity as speed went up. As light as most mustang wheels are you probably wont feel a wheel balance issue at 20 mph.

How many miles do you have on your car? The only suspension related component I can see causing a vibration are the hub/wheel bearings, but they have to be BAD for that to happen and it would be worse at higher speeds.

Are you sure its coming from the front? If not check your u-joints.
