I recently had an oil change and was told I needed a tie rod end and a wheel bearing replaced. I asked what was of immediate concern and was told tie rod (with no allignment, though) Since that repair was done, the van shimmies (vibrates,shakes) whenever I am on the highway (doing at least 100km) Do you know what is causing this?? Thanks!

Hello
more than likely the bearing in combination the lake of alignment being done with the tie rod.
