Need help identifying problem with tire and wheel issue

Asked by humblewerks Jul 16, 2014 at 10:27 PM about the 2002 Ford Taurus SES

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I own a 2002 ford Taurus SES, 230, 000 miles, runs very good. When I reach the
speed of 62 mph or more, my right front tire begins to jump. It stops when I
decellerat below 60 mph. I just today had the rotors turned, I've had the tire
replaced with a fairly new tire and balanced and the problem is the same.
I was told that it could be a ball joint (maybe). I was also told that my shock was
good and was not the problem. Any suggestions would be helpful, thx

Ball joint, tie rod end, shock. At that mileage replace them all. And both sides.
