Default Front End

2006 Ford Taurus: I recently replaced the right front ball-joint and sway bar and bushings due to a vibration that started in the front end, also, had my tires checked. My car is still vibrating and pulling to the left. What else would I need to check before having it aligned? Thanks for your help.

Have you checked the brakes? When is the vibration happening? Does it constantly pull to one side?

Thank you, I am putting brake pads on this week-end and having the rotors turned..I will see if that helps.

The steering wheel vibrates as I am driving it, at first I thought it was a bad tire, so I replaced a front tire then the ball joint and so forth.

Have the tie rods inspected and make sure the wheels are torqued properly. Front wheel drive vehicles are touchy about over torquing.

hey donna you may have a bad axle that is causing the vibration.if there is no vibration in the rear rotate the tires to rule out the vibration as well(bent rim,unbalanced tire,broken belt in the tire).you may have to much run out on the rotors causing vibration as well.or you could have a caliper sticking warping the rotor causing the vibration and pull in the front end
