I have a 1997 ford taurus that my wife took to a mechanic last year. Her complaint was that the car was shaking badly and pulling to the right when driving. They told her that it had a bad tie rod end, bad tire, and it needed a balancing and alignment. Ok so she has it all repaired. New front right tierod end, new front right tire, and an alignment. Maybe 2 months later she took it for a state inspection (different repair shop) and they told her that the right tie rod end was bad and needed to be replaced! Oh, I almost forgot, the car started pulling and shaking again too. So she has the mechanics talk to each other and the first one agrees to re-repair the car. So they do it. Guess what happened about a month later! Started shaking and vibrating again. Does anybody have any suggestions? I was actually to the point where I thought a brake was hanging up, but just finished a break job and that did not touch it.
