Taken for a shaky ride by car (7)
I believe the answer is:
carried
'taken' is the definition.
('carry' can be a synonym of 'take')
'a shaky ride by car' is the wordplay.
'a shaky' indicates an anagram.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'ride' is an anagram of 'ried'.
'ried' after 'car' is 'CARRIED'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for carried that I've seen before include "Conveyed, toted" , "Transmitted; borne" , "Held" , "Published" , "Conveyed, transported" .)
