Default Steering Shake

Hi Guys

Newbie here (Fast H form Manchester England).

Anyway after a few words of advice please.

Just bought an 06 Convt in Red showing just 22K which looks near mint. (Bought from local FORD main dealer).
When I test drove the car I noticed steering shake at all different speeds and asked the shop to fix it before I picked it up (I also had the care proffesionaly inspected and they also listed "Slight Steerring Shake").
Anyway on pick up I was told that they had actually had to replace one of the front alloys as it was dented! The car came with a brand new MOT done by the garage themselves, which STILL listed it as an advisory "Slight steering shake" AFTER THEY HAD SAID THEY HAD FIXED IT! (Apparantly the front tyres which were replaced as part of the deal were also wearing quicker on the insides).
Car is GOING back to the garage! Looks like the car has beeen driven quite hard off a kerb or similar to damage an alloy on the inside of the rim!
However what are members thoughts on possible solutions or things I should ask the garage to check properley please??? God I hate cars that have steering that shakes!!
