Hmm..

So before I even start to fix anything I got to know what caused it...

Was it:

A. Not using a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts - probably not but it's a good idea to use a torque wrench in the future

B. Getting Rear Ended hard enough to make my trunk not open right - maybe

C. Putting my new tires on myself - maybe

D. Driving the new tires for 100 miles with out being balanced (the thought here was that you could wear out the tire just a bit to get off all the mold knobs) - maybe

C & D could have been eliminated if I would have got the wheels balanced by someone I trust before I mounted them because they would have told me if if the wheels had excessive whirl.

Also the car got hit two days before I did the tires, so those events basically happened within 50 miles of one another.

I'm looking at the angle of the rear tires. I can't see any angle from being straight on, so if there is it would be so small as to make it non-visible.
