.... I went to a mechanic and he diagnosed my problem that my tie-rods and some bushings could be shot and it cost me upward of $500.00.... now I want the opinion of the fellow Legend community ...

Here's the deal ... while driving at slow speeds, whether I am accelerating or simply coasting or decelerating, at slow speeds I feel the car jiggle or move slightly from side to side between 5-40 mph. It disappears after 40 mph. If I hit the gas hard, I don't feel it as much as if I hit the gas slowly and accelerate mildly... I also feel it when I am decelerating or coasting. This is how jiggly it can be ... when I have a bottle of water in the cup holder, you can visibly see it slosh from left to right with the movement of the car. ...

Could the Tie Rods be shot?

B-Lo

sounds about right. Check ball joints also and of course alignment and balanced wheels

$500 sounds a bit high to replace tie rods. I actually had one snap in half on me was not to god.
