Force Racing ICT Dept Manager Miglia Turbo Am frum Yokshyer tha noes!

Got a problem with the missuses ford Ka. When corner right the car is fine but when cornering left it feels like the car is weeving all over the place, as if the wheel is loose (which it isnt). Its generally worse when going in a straight line as the steering wheel seems like it wants to sit right light slighty, but if you correct it and put the steering wheel straight, it darts about the road (like torque steer)

Ive look under neath and in the suspesion and cant see anything obvious??

Any ideas

Cheers

Mike

She says not, ive had the wheel off and had a pry with a bar on the both sides and both feel the same. Its really getting on my tits as she drives through fast country roads and its not really good when the car darts off to one side all of a sudden. Ive taken her in it today and drove it myself just to make sure shes ok.

You need to jack it up and start wobbling things.

My Focus went all leary and it was the anti-roll bar links. Never quite understood why but the garage changed them and fine since.

Problem is that if you jack up one wheel they go tight and you cannot feel the play.
