Default please advise help

I have a 99 c5 with a TTIX. I have noticed of several ocassions that when I am speeding thru gears my car gets really shaky and loose at about 90 + mph. Mt steering wheel gets light. Hard to explain but its a scary feeling. It feels like the whole car will lift off the ground. I used to have a 2003 z06 superchrged and never had that feeling when going straight.

I think its my alignment or maybe balancing. But I am looking to get more information or help to make sure its nothing serious....Thanks in advance for everyones help...

I would definitely recommend getting the alignment and wheel balancing, as well as a suspension inspection ruled out before going forward.

yes, an alignment sounds like your best bet in the order of things...can't hurt either way!
