So I went to get my tires aligned in the front because ive needed to do so because i wear out tires from the toe angle and bad alignment,So after the alignment today I drive my car and all a sudden my car shakes and shimmys around 60mph then goes away around 70 mph,now this didnt happen before i got the car aligned so are you supposed to get the tires balanced after you get an alignment?why would this all a sudden happen?Are you supposed to balance the tires after getting alignment?

i'd check to make sure your tie rods are tight, then go back to allignment place asap. Hopefully they didn't loosen tie rods for allignment n forget to re-tighten.
I dont see how PS fluid would have anything to do with this though.

You need to get your wheels/tires balanced, maybe you hit a bump and one of the weights fell off. Tell the technicians to clean off the area well before they apply the weights. Sometimes they just stick them on when there is dirt and brake dust on the inside of your rim and they WILL eventually fall off.
