Hi Guys

Right ware too start...........

Ok so I have just went and bought myself a 2000 model ford focus 1.8 tdci and a week after driving it some steering problems are annoying me.

When I turn the car a little to the left I hear a screeching noise coming from the inside of the steering wheel and just at that point the steering goes from very tight to loose again and makes a loud knocking noise from the front of the car and throws the whole car left.

Also when I drive upto 60mph or more the whole car shakes because of the steering. I thought this was because the wheels needed balanced but it only shakes like mad when i am pressing down on the accelerator so I am so confused.

ANY SUGGESTIONS?

Thanks
Michael
