What does the wrench mean?
Hi, I am new and I've been reading this for him for a while since I got my 2009 Fusion.
Recently I had someone who said he knew what he was doing work on my car and turns out he only halfway knew what he was doing. Now I have to find professional help to fix it.
I pretty much got it where it should be, only right now there is a wrench on my dashboard whenever I turn the key on that was never there before, and the problem I'm having is drifting/pulling left or right when I'm going down the road, I just had my car aligned, it was way out of whack due to Outer tie rods being replaced ,and the one on the right was not done correctly ,that has been corrected now. Only it is still pulling when I drive and let go of the wheel , sometimes it'll go to the left. I did have all my tires checked so I know the PSI is correct, and it just had a four wheel alignment twice. The only measurement that is not in the green on the machine is the right tire its -1 degree, they keep telling me that camber cannot be adjusted but they seem to have gotten it to - 1 degree.
also do outer tie rods come pre greased because I don't think he grease those after installation either.
Also when doing the outer tie rods this idiot damaged my right rubber brake line to the caliber, and did not tighten the nut on the left, so I had fluid all over the front end, maybe that fluid is causing something to slip or gears to not engage fully causing the rack and pinion to not engage at some point, I'm just guessing from what I've Googled. I did however take it to the carwash and have the underbody washed along with the wheels.
Could it be since I had front-end work done , that someone didn't re-calibrate my torque sensor, being that there is a wrench on my dashboard , because that is new to me I have no idea, I'm just going by what I read on this forum?

If you can , have a good shop look at it and check everything. This cannot be done over the net.
So many things have been worked on anything can be the problem. I can understand trying to help yourself, but So many hands have got in there and it is going to require someone that can check everything from the beginning .
