I have two problems.i went to the dealership and got a wheel alignment. It seemed to do noting for my car the dealership recommended that I get my rooters changed. I was only there because they had a deal. I declined. My car wheel shakes when i am on the freeway and apply the brakes. what are your recommendation. My brake pads are fine. the reason why i thought it was the alignment is because it pulled the car... so the pulling is gone but the shaking is still there......

  If the car shakes when you brake than you most likely do need rotors. I don't think the spark plugs made the car any louder than before so perhaps a small exhaust leak has developed. Not sure about the alarm but maybe something was bumped around a little.
