Steering wabble Ford Ranger

Featured Replies

2012 Ranger,

There is a constant wobble on the steering wheel at all speeds. Its not wheel balance.

Does not come in & out at different speeds, even at walking speed the steering wheel has a side to side wobble.

Any Ideas??



Possibly a buckled wheel, though that should've been noted when the balance was checked.  You could try swapping wheels front to rear if not done already.

I dont think its a buckled wheel, but will swop front to back just to rule it out.

Thanks.

Any other ideas?

Next things to check would be warped hub(s).

I assume wheel alignment has already been checked and you're not getting excess edgewear on the tyres?

I had to put new brake discs on my Ranger as they were both absolutely mangled, causing judder on braking but one side was so bad that I had steering wobble on the motorway. 

The stock discs fitted are poor anyway, worth checking them for uneven wear, particularly on the back side.
