2000 Ford Escort SOHC 2.0 L Handling Issues?
I have a 2000 ford escort 4 door with 110000 miles. I bought it about 9 months ago. Put new tires, front struts, lower ball joint on pass. side, rear sway links,rack bushings, inner and outer tie rod on drivers side, trailing arm on rear passenger side . as it was bent. and outer on passenger side. I rode the new tires without a alignment for maybe 1000 miles and the inner of the front tires wore down. I had it aligned with the good tires from the back. And ever since then when i get on the freeway it starts shaking and vibrating around 55-65 mph. It gets worse at 70-75mph. I was wondering if the top strut spring seat is not aligned with the bottom would that cause it? Or the tire wear? I bought the Monroe Sensatrac struts with new strut mounts and it seems after I put all the work into it,it rides worse then before. My name is
Philip and I am only 21 years old so dont have much knowledge. If you could please let me know what you think the possibilities are I would greatly appreciate it. THX.
wELL IT WAS BENT FROM SOMEONE WHO HAD IT B4 ME JACKED IT UP FROM THE TRAILING ARM. THATS WHY IT WAS BENT. CAUSE WHEN I HAD THEM BALANCE THE TIRES AWHILE BACK THEY WERE STRAIGHT.
