Ford ka 05 steering issue
I've just got a 05 plate ford ka. Duratek engine and when driving the wheel is pUllingswick to the left then to the right, almost like a wobble but not as fast and when I go to turn corners I feel it resisting more that it should and the power steering feels a lot heavier than my last ka
It doesn't really get any worse with speed and doesn't change under breaking either
Been told it could be track rod ends but had them checked and they are fine for now. Any ideas what it could be
Not without looking at it. Jack up each side and check for play in the front wheels. If you don't get it looked at soon, it will eat the tires up, from what you describe.
Had same problem when track rod end was fitted incorrectly. Had it altered to get tracking right and problem was solved. Have we had new track ends fitted? Or have we Kerbed a wheel? Heavy kerb impact can put tracking out badly and give same effect as incorrectly set tracking.
worth checking track rod joints for wear too.
- 1995 Ford Taurus with a steering issue. When I turn the steering wheel to a certain spot left or right it will start moving back and forth? According to previous owner the rack and pinion was previously replaced. Steering wheel Is off a little to the right. Any ideas?
- Ford KA Thermostat housing issue? The above image is of the housing. Whilst removing the old housing, the bolt on the top left of the housing (in accordance with the photo) snapped. It's stuck in the engine. I was wondering what impact it would have if I did not remove and replace the broken bolt. i.e. Left that part of the housing unsecured when replacing it with the new one. Pretty urgent so a quick reply will get the best answer!
- 2012 Ford Fusion SE transmission issue? A while back I started driving from a complete stop and my car wouldn't shift to a higher gear. I pulled over, made sure I was in drive not low, put the car in neutral and attempted to drive again. It drove and shifted however the car seems to have less power and shifts later than before this happened. Any idea why this happened, and/or if I need to have a repair done and what that repair would be? The car has almost 87,000 miles.
- 2010 Ford focus see Sync issue? I just got a used 2010 Ford focus. I've been trying to sync up my phone, and I've been reading on how to do it. I press the phone button and try to scroll to "add Bluetooth device" but it doesn't scroll. It just says "no phone" no matter what button I press or knob I turn. Am I missing something?
