My car vibrates at 80MPH+

Could it be my suspension, wheel alignment?

Get it aligned and have your tire balanced.

get a wheel alignment and if you want, a fstb. I need one cause when I gun it at any speed, especially from 20-40, my steering wheel shakes like crazy.

You shouldn't be driving 80+ on the road anyway

when was the last time you had an alignment or wheel balancing. My car had the same problem and when i bought new tires and got them balanced, the vibration went away... Im not tellin you to get new tires but get yours looked at and make sure they are balanced and that your rims arent bent or anything. Mis-aligned wheels could cause some problems too if it is severe enough.

considering your suspension is probably busted from your other posts, this means your alignment is probably off, which also seriously throws off tire wear.

Like everyone says, get an alignment and wheels rebalanced.

For me that didn't work, so I had to replace the front suspension...but actually just replaced everything.
