Greetings,
My first post.
I own a 1999 Lincoln Continental. I purchased the car when it was about two years old with 19,000 miles on it. The car now has 80,000 miles on it. I took the car to Ford for a brake job and I was informed I also need struts, outer tie rods, and lower ball joints. I was noticing a wear problem on the insides of the tires so I told them to go ahead and fix it. I get the car back and now there is a shimmy and the car pulls to the right. Ford says all of your tires are bad. Went to the tire store and bought all new tires. Car still pulls to the right and it still has the shimmy. I took it back to Ford and they told me there is nothing wrong with it and it's more or less all in my head. The new tires you bought are all bad. Tire store says they are fine. Ford is now trying to tell me it's torque steer. You know when you plant your foot to the floor and the front end gets all crazy. Usually if I plant my foot to the floor the front end usually can't make up it's mind where it wants to go sometimes with the traction control button off. Anyway I never had this shimmy feel before or the pulling to the right problem when the car was fairly new or up to the point of taking it to Ford for the front end repairs. Does anybody else have a clue as to what went wrong?

The dealer where u took the car is where it went wrong

It sounds like when they changed everything they didnt bother to give it an alienment.

Sorry I hadn't updated the fiasco lately. Went to a couple of other shops and told them to just check the front end alignment and do not correct it. All of them said the front end is not aligned. Back to the dealership with info in hand. Ignored the service writer and mechanic. Went to the shop foreman. He did the alignment himself. All is well except now the front rack has sprung a leak. Is this normal for a car with 80,000 miles on it?

its probably from all the shaking that took place because the job wasnt done correctly the 1st time
