Hey all, Im going to try and keep this short. Vehicle in question is my mothers 2011 Ford Taurus Limited. About 3 months/3000 miles ago, myself and my father replaced the following suspension components-
Lower Control Arms - Mevotech
Sway Bar Links - Moog
Front Struts - KYB
Tie Rod Ends - O'reillys house brand
We also replaced the tires over this past summer with Uniroyal Tigerpaw A/S in size 255/45/19. Here is my issue - since replacing everything listed, the issue of the car "wandering" has only gotten worse. Under light acceleration, the car will sway to the right and then back center. Under heavy acceleration, or even heavy shifts, the car wanders almost like it has a mind of its own until the gas is let off, then it straightens out and drives fairly normally. Its sometimes to the point that it feels like its going to pull off the road, especially on the interstate. So far, we have had it aligned 3 separate times with reports to show that everything is within spec, replaced the 2 front tires to rule out a tire issue (this did help a little, but not much), change out the axle nut to ensure it was tight, and check tightness on everything minus control arms. Ive about had it with this thing, I don't feel safe with my mother driving it and its just making me mad in general. Where do I go next? Thanks!!!
