I just took my car to the shop to change threads on a spark plug. As I was driving the car home, and today as well, when I'd turn the car would shake...badly. It was just at a certain angle as well. If I'd turn the wheel all the way to the right it wouldn't do it. Just at the right angle it'd shake violently. What is this? This did not happen before taking it to the shop, mind you.

They may have damaged a suspension/steering component when they worked on it, take it back and complain.

Sounds like a tight / binding universal joint on the front axle.
