Vibration problems. I had my car inspected and the tie rod were bad. Changed them. Why is it even worse?

depending on the age of the car usually more things are wrong than just tie rod ends

fixing this may have caused the other worn parts to now cause the vibration

take it for an independant inspection somewhere else dont always trust any particular mechanic unless they are recomended by your local auto group or club

lots of mechanics are not trustworthy at all

as you dont know much about it they will try and baffle you with bullshyt
Vibration problems. I had my car inspected and the tie rod were bad. Changed them. Why is it even worse?
Because either you didn't align it or it was aligned incorrectly and now the tires are %26quot;fighting%26quot; each other, either meaning they are both trying to turn towards or away from each other at the same time, assuming you do not have anymore parts that are in need of replacement like a wheel bearing or other steering related parts! If all else fails, maybe you have junk tires or they are out of balance!

Did the mechanic check the tire balance or just go for an expensive fix?
If your have a front wheel drive car, it could be your driveshaft/s, has the vehicle been involved in a accident lately ?

Wear on the shafts and joints could also cause vibration.

I presume your wheel balancing was done properly after the tie rods were renewed.

Vibration under braking , especially down hill whilst cornering and braking together, hot spots on the front brake discs, have them machined on a lathe.
