2012 Chrysler 200S wobbles and sways

Greetings Scotty! Man, I sure wish I had seen your channel BEFORE my purchase! Having said that, I love you.

I am having a HUGE problem with my 2012 Chrysler 200S. 104,000 miles. 6 cyl. Always meticulously maintained by ME since purchase. I bought used ( sucker sticker on my forehead ) from a dealer ( sigh ). I have a super mechanic and even he is stumped along with 5 other mechanics. The passenger front wheel WOBBLES. From about 60 MPH and just gets worse as the speed goes higher. It is felt in the steering wheel, pedals, floor and seat. The REAR passenger wheel is also wonky with wobble and noise. In 16 months, I have gone through 4 sets of tires ( they were CHEWED and I mean chewed showing metal ). I have replaced the rack and Pinion, 2 new front wheel bearings, multiple sets of brakes and rotors as as soon as they are put on, the rotors start pulsating within a week. I have had it aligned by a very good company 5 times.

It sways terrible...TERRIBLE in ANY weather, won't stay on the road!!! Front AND rear! My mechanic says the sway bar links are good, so I don't know what to do.

My tires are Hankook and 4 months old. I live in PA. 

Man, what a money pit, but I am stuck with this until I can get a vehicle YOU recommend. ( yes, I have them all written down )

I use this to UBERX and even my passengers feel it.

My mechanic, Crosby, has gone over this car so many times and cannot find the issues. I have yet another appointment next week for replacement of rotors AGAIN. I want him to check and see if this a flood vehicle as I was told it was by another mechanic that showed me my wheel wells. I understand the way to confirm this is taking off the door panel. 

Jinkies, if you could help me, I would be eternally grateful!!!

 

Much love!!

Yikes. If your mechanic isn't able to solve a wobbly wheel, then it's time to switch. This should not be a "stumper". Realise that if he just keeps replacing parts without knowing what the problem is, that makes him a parts changer and no better than your neighbour Rick. A trained mechanic with the right tools should be able fix this. He's milking you.

 

It could be a number of things. Loose suspension components, bad tie-rod ends, bent knuckle, bent subframe ... maybe the car was in a wreck,

You need to find an experienced, professional mechanic.
