Steering wheel wobble (NOT WHEELS)

Featured Replies

Not much to add to this except to say I have it on my 1.6 Focus Zetec 08. It's been there since the day I bought it (2 months ago). It's my first car and didn't notice it much at first as I didn't initially drive it home. Now it's ever present at the speeds mentioned.

I researched posts on here and other sites. Not one person has found a resolution. My focus is under warranty until February, but unsure whether to bother. Everyone seems to have just carried on driving it and ignored it in the end. Until something obvious rears its head at least. I'm not technically minded in anyway when it comes to cars lol. For now at least anyway, constantly learning and researching.

  • Sounds like your mechanics you've used so far are none to clever.

  • I know it doesnt really solve any of issues but it definetly makes me feel better that the wobble/tremor effects other people also. As you said tom, maybe we are too much of perfectionists but...

  • This is why I am really keen on learning as much as possible so I can do as much as possible myself. Nobody will care about your car as much as you do so only you will be able to do the job to yo

Yeh thats the first thing I looked at, comfort, standard and sport.

Same in all modes.

Onto 4th set of drive shafts, OEM this time im told.

fingers crossed.

Got one on mine, at 50-60mph and above. I do have a "propeller" noise, but my tyres have worn non-uniformly due to an alignment problem (+mot advisory last year about "Offside Rear Road wheel with a slightly distorted bead rim"). Will be swapping them at some point when they're getting near to the legal limit with 4 tyres that are equal and balancing and will see if that fixes it. Otherwise i'd consider a wheel bearing, but when jacked up there is no play in any road wheels or noise on turning them.
