You are the only person on the whole internet who could accurately explain the problem I’ve been having thank you so much

[@tmangan327]

I'm working on a 2010 Taurus. I was driving it yesterday trying to figure out the fish taleing and after watching this I went right to the rear tie rods and checked them....thanks

[@MattWeis]

This issue led to a recall! Nice work diagnosing this super early! Saved me a lot of headache and time chasing this down.

[@RantzCore]

I'm actually having this problem with my 2010 SHO currently. Thanks for verifying this part for me so I can order replacement parts. Awesome video and thanks for the information! Happy New Year and Peace out!

[@ManicMechanic007]

Old school rules. Your persistence in trying to locate the problem paid off.

[@cmarshall2211]

I'll be damned! My SHO does this when I hit the brakes hard. Need to check this. Thanks Bryan!

[@EricWulff]

Been fighting this for a little while. Thought it was my brakes just put new all the way around.

[@BrentMB79]

Mine does this Ford looked at me like I was crazy

[@wperro81]

BrentMB79 mines doing the same thing ! Got the same response from ford !

[@BrentMB79]

@@wperro81 I'm gonna order some toe links this week and give it a shot. I have the Ford PN if you need it

[@wperro81]

Sure ! Share it for everyone !

[@rachelwalter9411]

Mine is doing it now and it’s scary :(. What did you all figure out was wrong?

[@BrentMB79]

@@rachelwalter9411 rear torque arms need replaced drive with caution. I listed the part numbers below...... some years were recalled for this call your dealership for more info.

[@jazz85]

Its not a toe link thats bad, its the knuckle bushing that causes that, just did it on mine, although it wouldn't be a bad idea to replace toe link, drag link and sway link while at it.

[@bradnoyes7955]

OK, stupid question, I'm replacing my toe links and it seems the nut inside the subframe is spinning free. How do I get to it to remove the bolt from the toe link bushing?

[@jaybudd1617]

Wow now I have something else to be concerned about. Yes I have a 2010 Ford Taurus with about 122,000.

[@geraldhulton6856]

What about the MKS all wheel drive

[@jt7216]

As a Caterpillar retiree, just want you to know it's easier to skin a Deere.

[@365gamestreamslive5]

I know this video is older but I have a 2002 ford taurus fwd and if I go about 15 mph the back end starts to fish tail ? Any suggestions

[@mikejonez3839]

Tire out of round

[@davidwright9524]

Probably the same exact thing that he's talking about in this video

[@MrPami9899]

often misdiagnosed for a bad wheel bearing!! Lol

[@keithhastings4092]

It just goes to SHO.....

[@ozzstars_cars]

First. Yup, worn tie rod end will do it.

[@NewLevelAuto]

Ozzstar and a loose rear end is never a good thing

[@BSGAutomotive]

Yup but it was just weird with the suspension droop on the lift everything was pulled tight. So I never had any play in that socket until I loaded up the suspension. I am just glad I was able to zero in on it and fix it right the first time for this customer.

[@ozzstars_cars]

+New Level I agree.

[@Viper81766]

BSG Automotive good thinking brother : )
