Hi, I would be grateful for any advice on this. My fiesta had a "bolt" replaced a couple of weeks ago under warranty - its a 2010 fiesta that has done approx 45000 miles. It was done as part of a technical service bulletin - I took it in as the steering was making a clunky noise when parking etc. That's now gone - all they old me was it was a "bolt" that had been replaced and it was now secure.

I had new tyres fitted approx 6 weeks before this and the tracking done and the car was holding the road very well. since the repair the steering has gone very light and it feels like I am driving on wet, even like I am driving on ice at times, when the road is actually absolutely fine and sometimes is actually dry. I have checked tyre pressures etc and all is fine. It seems ok with a small amount of turning to the wheel, it grips fine - if you imagine the steering wheel usually at twelve o clock position. Once I turn it much beyond about 2 o'clock especially going round a roundabout if I try to go at anything over 20 mph it just seems to go really light and feels like it might skid. I know it won't but that's the sensation.

It's going back in next week for another job, so they will check it, but I would like to give them some help as I suspect they will say they can't find a problem!!!

any help would be appreciated

thanks
