I’m losing the will to live now, so hopefully someone can help, or at least give me some advice.
I’ve a Fiesta Zetec Mk5 on an 03’ plate, low mileage, and ever since I’ve owned it, I’ve had this niggling problem with the steering.
Hard to explain, but if you drive over things like cats eyes, or small cracks, imperfections in the road, then the steering wheel twitches from left to right. Not great amounts, but it’s enough to drive you bonkers, and know it’s not natural.
I’ve not had this with other cars, so I’m sick to death of being told that ‘maybe it’s just how Fiesta’s are’ but I’m determined to find the culprit.
To date, I’ve had both front shocks replaced, discs, pads, bearings, track rod ends, new tires and now a new steering rack. Hasn’t made a blind bit of difference. Both tires and alloys are standard by the way, not modified.
My mechanic has said ‘it process of elimination’ which is now becoming a very b***** expensive one. Please help!!
P.S: The steering column all seems to be nice and tight, and there isn’t any play in any of the other bushes either.
Feel free to answer any questions.
