Can you please tell me what would be causing my steering wheel to vibrate when the car is at speeds between 50-60 mph? I recently had the front end aligned and new struts put on the front as well.

check the tires for damage and static unbalance. that can cause that problem.

also taurus's have problems with rotors warping if tires are not put on with a torque wrench. and with the calipers at close clearence that can cause the vibration at speeds.

check the tires first.
