Yep, its the alignment. The tires are fighting each other for traction.

also check that the rim is not touching the control arm when you turn ...this is a common issue with drop spindles and alloy wheels

ok it happens only when i take sharp turn. it starts to vibrate alot like the tires are loose stops after a while from the front end its more of a vibration than a jerk
