jeebowhite Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 check the brake disk isnt warped as thats a good indicator, could otherwise be the camber or the tracking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Could also be a track rod arm possibly slightly bent, I had this before and as soon as it was changed it drove smooth as a babies bum lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Also make sure your tyres are the correct psi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btmaldon Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 There is also the obvious. If the vibration is only through the steering wheel it could be the balancing on the front wheels. If the whole car feels like it is vibrating then it will be the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbie73 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I had this on my Fiesta, and it turned out the wheels were not balanced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackson7715 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Share Posted June 14, 2013 thank you all for your replies, i have had the tracking done recently as well as a new set of discs put on, old ones were warped. my next step oddly enough was to have both front wheels re-balanced, i.e see if they have correct weights on them. Havnt thought of the track rod arm tho.mmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
