Shakes or Wobbles problem
1994 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

I have a real bad shake in my front driver side tire. I have asked several of my mechanic friends and they all have told me different things(tie rods, drive axle, caliper, etc). What's happening is at low speeds you can feel it but around 35-45 it gets real bad. To me it feels like something is warped. My husband says it feels like something is lose. We didn't start having a problem til a friend changed our brakes (rotors too). And as stated it is only in the drivers side. Could he have damaged the caliper and caused the shake? Or could something else be wrong?

I would rotate the tires at 1st checking if the shake moves with the tires
If have bad breaks or rotors
It would shake as you apply the brakes

Thanks so much for the reply. We rotated the tires, one needs to be replaced and we replaced the tie rods. Its not shaking now but it needs an alignment now. Thanks again. Your reply is greatly appreciated. :)

Hopefully this will help others with the same problem.
