The independant shop is correct, as well as the dealer. There are aftermarket parts available (and required, in my opinion) that allow for adjustment. Do that and be happy.
The dealer has only FORD stuff and they are clueless about this issue. They think replace parts and everything is okay and it is NOT.
Get the aftermarket parts, which have adjustable, ecentric attributes that allow for adjustment.
The front end needs to be aligned perfectly, or burn tires.
Don't Believe HIM this is INDICATIVE of INCORRECT CAMBER ADJUSTMENT of Witch IS IN FACT an ALIGHNMENT Issue, A CONTRIBUTER can be BALL JOINT FAILURE so be Ready for FRONT END PARTS REPLACMENT upon Getting it Alighned as these Parts Being BAD will Make it IMPOSSIBLE to Correctly Have a ALIGHNMENT Done.
you should not be playing with the camber adjustments of your car unless you have a proper wheel aligner as you can course some major problems with your car i recommend you take it to your local tyre retailer and get them to adjust it for you
If you lower the front by using the torsion bars the front end camber is going to be to negative. They make kits to lower cars, lower spindles keeping the steering geometry ok. In the long run i believe it is better to buy a kit and do it right.
You seem to have more than one problem, first of all the balding tire you have a negative camber problem that can be adjusted by getting a wheel alignment done. The shaking problem while applying brake could mean that you have bad/warped front rotors. It can also mean bad Tie rods. Lastly it can mean that the front tires needs to be high speed balanced. Good Luck
bo_ronan, Front end work can be tricky and should be done by a certified mechanic,there are a number of possibilities here,if it is a "toe out" problem this could be caused by worn tie rod ends or control arm bushings but this may also be a camber problem however camber usually affects one wheel.Camber can be caused by a bent spindle,
mislocated strut tower, bent strut, worn or collapsed control arm
bushing, bent control arm or a weak or broken spring. If any of these
parts are replaced, camber should be checked and adjusted as needed
after the parts have been installed.I hope this helps you,good luck.
