Re: 2004 mercury montery vibration

get all the suspension and steering components inspected, could be bad ball joints or bad tie rods (make sure you check inner's too) also could be a bent rim, do you or any other driver of the vehicle remember hitting a pothole or a curb or anything, also chances are slim but it could be that the brake rotors are really badly warped, check rotor parallelism

Has the steering rack ever been checked? I have seen a couple of racks exhibit this symptom.
