Finally I am on the road on my way to Arizona but I think I need a mechanic to fix my steering wheel. I am in Florence, Oregon. Anybody if u know a good mechanic in the area please let me know. I already did wheel alignment and stll a play in there and it's scary. Thanks.

Take it to a Ford dealer. Your best bet if you don't know someone IMO.

Hmmmmm....
So you DID do a front end alignment, and it still handles bad?? (You'd think that they would have said something if the ball joints were worn out...that's what I was kinda thinking.)
How good and what kinda tires are you running up front?? If you've got mixed radials and bias-ply tries on the same vehicle, it can make it handle like crap!!
When are you coming through Coos Bay?? I'm only an hour South of Florence. Maybe we could do lunch or something?? (I could look at this steering wheel issue too.)
btw...Bindi&Us had very good luck with their brake job, due to the local Les Schwab's...so that's a good thing!

whatever the problem I still say whoever charged you for an alignment ripped you off. if your vehicle doesn't drive straight down the road the alignment isn't right, for whatever reason. highdesertranger
Thanks for the response everyone. Patrick I passed Coos bay already, right now I am in Garberville, CA. I wish I checked this web site sooner but I was too busy driving and paying extra attention on the road but thank u for the offer.I stll have the problem but I get use to driving with it for now but once I make to Arizona I have to find a mechanic.
