I have read many threads now regarding wheel wobbles, but no one seems to have posted a solution.

I’m trying to solve my wheel wobble on my Escort Cosworth as well, but to no avail.

Maybe this is of some help to you, if I tell you what I’ve done so far: -

My problems manifested themselves after fitting New Koni Shocks and Ahmed Bayjoo springs.

My first thought was wheel balancing, and as I needed new tyres, I fitted new tyres onto refurbished rims and had them balanced. No difference.

Fitted new wheel bearings on both sides, as one side was very worn. No difference, which did surprise me.

Fitted new steering rack. No difference.

Fitted new steering coupling. No difference.

Fitted new track control arms with new Powerflex bushes, inner and ARB. No difference.

Fitted new Trilobe bearings both sides. No difference.

Fitted longer drive shaft on left hand side. No difference.

Fitted new top mount shock absorber rubbers. No difference.

Checked bearing on transfer shaft from diff to offside drive shaft. No play.

Checked universal joints on prop shaft from transfer case to front diff. No play.

I think I’ve changed everything that can be changed, and the wobble is still there.

So I’m open to suggestions as well.

Cheers
John
