I notice a feathered tire-wear pattern on the rear wheels and I wonder whether or not the car should have a 4-wheel allignment once in awhile, or whether only the front wheels are able to be alligned. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I drove a 1993 ford taurus today and whenever I turned the steering wheel right or left, there was an oscillating of the steering wheel. The car turned just fine but the steering wheel would move right to left to right to left….and so on in an oscillating manner.

If this is a simple PS pump problem then I may make a very low offer for the car. Other than the steering issue, the car is in excellent shape. The driving I did was about 18 miles to a wholesale auto auction and as an employee of the auction, I can bid on it.

Hi guys,
I have a 1999 Ford Taurus. When I turn right the steering is normal but when I turn left the steering wheel is too hard…almost impossible to turn. I check the fluid and is OK. Does anybody know whats wrong with my car?
Thanks!

I just bought a 2005 ford Taurus se and I asssumed that once I turn off the car the lights will go off but instead I have to turn the knob to the left of the steering wheel to turn them off, otherwise they’ll stay on, is there an automatic headlight? How do I use it or turn it on?

My taurus is legendary. Its been through a hell of a lot. Ive had alot of good times in it. But with 204K miles on it, i dont know when its day is coming to an end so when it does happen i want someting to remember it by, so i thought the steering wheel. How do i take it off? If you have any suggestions of what else i should take off it.

i just bought a ford Taurus station wagon from a private party without first trying out the car and i am now noticing some problems on the car.

first of all, the fuel tank gauge does not work at all. is there anyone who is able to assist me in showing me how to fix it?

also, the steering wheel starts shaking (noticeably) as soon as i hit 40 mph. i think its the CV boots, but i am not sure. any ideas?

lastly, the headlights are really dim. any suggestions on how to replace them??

thanks a lot. any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

since the ford taurus is front wheel drive, and no rear differential to make noise, my question is. I have a humming or grinding type noise coming from the rear of the car. Its a constant hum when driving at a steady speed. Then as slowing down, it begin to slow down as it would be associated with the speed of the turning of the rear wheels. Could it be the rear wheel hubs and bearings? Thanks for any information.

I hit some black ice the other day and smacked a curb pretty good. I replaced pretty much everything under the right wheel well. When I went to get my front end aligned the tech showed me how the lower right side of the engine cradle is bent. How much work is involved in replacing this myself? I’m guessing I would need to have an engine hoist but I’m not sure. Anyone out there able to help me out on this?

Please…I need your help. I took my 2006 Ford Taurus to the Ford dealership and they said nothing is wrong with it, even though they can hear and feel a clunk in reverse and in drive. The problem is when I leave every morning, I have to make a 3 point turn (U-turn). So I turn the steering wheel to turn around and can’t make it. So I stop when I’m near the curb and place the car in reverse then back up and then it clunks. As I back up enough to make the 3 point turn (U-turn) I place it in drive and drive away when it clunks again. The clunk feels like it’s coming from the front end of the car. What the heck is it???? PLEASE someone help me. My waranty is almost up.

BTW: The Ford dealership has checked the struts, motor mounts, and the transmission twice. They said, I just have to live with it.

I have a 1996 Ford Taurus, My belt had broke once and I had to replace the Idler pulley and get a new belt. We I just put the new belt on and ever since then I hear a squeeling / screeching sound where the belt is. Also when ever I run the heat on high is when it makes that sound the most, also when I turn the steering wheel it also makes the noise.

I have no idea what or why it is making this sound, but if anyone can help me, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

I have a 1997 Ford Taurus GL and it pulls to the right when I accelerate. I recently had it aligned. This has been an ongoing issue and was wondering if anyone had any ideas. So far I have heard that it may be a wheel bearing getting ready to go, tie rod end, and struts.
