Handling Issues

Hi. I'm hoping some of you have some ideas that could point me to the problem. I have a 2000 TL with approx 94,000 miles. I have had two issues which may or may not be related. First, the car has drifted to the right for some time. I've had it aligned and rechecked yet it still pulled to the right. Second, when driving at 45 mph or above, the car has a shake/vibration. it's nothing violent, but noticable to anyone in the car. The shake does not see to be coming through the steering wheel. But the entire car seems to shake as if driving over a slight washboard road. I had the tires balanced, but it made no difference.

My tires were worn, so I replaced them hoping that would make a difference. However, both conditions are still present.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Steve

do a front end check man. you prob dont want to tell us if you hit something like a curb or even a hole at a good angle with enough force you can bend a tie rod maybe cracked a ball joint a bad bushing or something. Watever it is, get it checked and fixed. Ask the people that did your alignment to give you your camber specs. You didnt state anything about balancing. just do it _/

Gotto tire kingdom or Tires plus etc and ask them to take a look. you're gonna have to pay regardless of where you go but i would go to a place that deals with this 24/7

sounds like a bad tire or bent rim causing it. rotate the tires to the rear and see if it helps the pull and shaking
