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?
