Ford Contour Ford Contour combines sporty driving dynamics with the comfort and practicality of a four-door sedan. It doesn't have the rear-seat space of a Taurus, but Ford improved rear legroom and revised the styling. Contour SVT pours on the coal with a higher output version of the Duratec V6, a sports suspension and bigger brakes.

Question My car shakes

Car: 2000 Contour SE 124k miles

Several months ago, I brought my car to a repair shop. I had rear drum brake overhaul-fwd and front disc brake service. The guy were nice enough to rotate my tires for free. The newer tires on the front, older ones on the back. Since I got my car back that day, anytime I go over 55mhp, my car shakes really bad. I never had that problem before my car went in the shop. I know I should have gone right back to the shop, but I didn't since I had appointments that day. Unfortunately, I haven't gone back yet. Yesterday, I did notice when I make a left turn there is noise coming from my right front tire area. Now I only noticed yesterday, so I don't know how long it has been happening or if it just started. Just wondering what all this is about.

Clueless

tell them to look at your alignment. maybe even balancing your tires.

Take it back to the shop!
Could be a number of things that would cause that issue.
They worked on it last and the issue was present after that work so it's best to let them check over what they did.
