Default Re: Steering Shake

Hi. Thanks for the info/advice. I have now got the car back from the Ford dealer who supplied the car. They took the car to the local Chrysler dealer in Manchester who charged THEM £120 to check and diagnose the steering fault. (No fault found............they said that it was "Within manufacturers tolerance"). They then charged them £150 to do a 4 wheel wheel alignment check/adjust (Glad I was not paying!). Ford dealer then re balanced the front wheels. After that it does seem slightly better, but only slightly. MAYBE its because I am not used to a car with this type of steering system???? Nearly all cars in the UK are rack & pinion steering and have been for years! So it possibly just me not being used to it. The shake is not BAD. It's just there if you know what I mean? Feels like a wheel out of balance.............when I now know they are all balanced fine. Thanks for the tip about the steering damper!! Anyone got a reccomended supplier for one? Regards
