Would you care to share the brand with us? Two bad tires out of four is not good at all.

Particularly if you know the week/year of manufacture and the batch number of each bad tire, you may want to report it to NHTSA. It appears there was a bad batch or two manufactured.

Just to update you guys - I was at the at dealer that I usually go to . There's a camber adjustment required on both the front wheels . So going in for alignment on Wednesday . Will also do the road force balance .

Once of tr things that came up - the mechanic wanted to know whether 2007 mustangs have the camber kit installed ? He checked the specs but couldn't positively determine it . Is there a way for me to find out that before I take it back day after ? I did see a YouTube on how to install it but how do I know if my mustang has it ?

I got after market tires - fuzion . On a visit to a dealer I usually go to, he said I have a positive camber.

Can alignment and road force balancing be done at different times or do these have to go together ?

The mechanic wasn't sure whether 2007s came with a camber kit . He said that will be required for alignment . Can anyone throw some light on that ? If that is indeed required, are after market camber kits reliable or do I have to buy it from the ford dealer ? Thank you folks !

Updating this just in case its helpful to someone in future.

I got my steering shake resolved. There was a play in the inner and outer tie rods. They were replaced, wheels road balanced and the problem is gone. Thank you all.
