Thanks for the input, guys! Since I've already sold the original wheels & tires, I cannot try that method. Also, since the rears are 18x10, I can't try them on the front to see if I still have the shake.

So, after I spoke with Discount Tire during lunch, I found out that a few select stores have a machine that can measure the road force of the tire. Not far from my office, there was a Discount Tire with this machine that put both wheels on the machine this afternoon. Keep in mind that the tires had been balanced twice and "were within specs" each time. It turns out that the passenger front tire had a road force reading of about 28 pounds. They said that a typical tire has a road force of about7-12 pounds on this machine. They turned the tire on the rim, rebalances,and got it down to about 18 pounds. The shake has decreased, but it is still there at high speeds. Discount Tire Direct (where I purchased the tires) is sending out a brand newtire at no expense! Once I receive it, Discount Tire tells me that it should solve the issue.

I'll keep my appointment with the alignment shop this weekend because the car is drifting to the left slightly.

Anyway, hopefully this will work out. Thanks for the advice!

How hard is it to do it yourself? Where exactly do the bolts go?

The bolts are very easy to install -it replaces the upper bolt of the two bolts towards the bottom of the strut. Maybe someone else can explain it better than me...

If the shop would've charged extra, it would've taken me 10 minutes to install the bolts myself.
