Hello all,

Got the track rod ends on my Ford Fiesta replaced a couple of weeks ago. Today was the first time I took it up to any kind of high speed. Noticed a severe vibration through the steering wheel at 50+ mph. The rest of the car does not vibrate, only the steering wheel. I know this can be caused by an out of balance wheel or poor wheel alignment, does anyone know which is more likely?

Furthermore, will about 3 hours of motorway driving today coupled with 2 weeks worth of city runarounds have done any major damage? I'll get this seen to asap but it would be a real pain to know I had destroyed the tires already.

Cheers

You need to get your front wheels balanced and the tracking checked as soon as possible.
