Sierra Cosworth Sapphire 4x4 Turbo - Small vibration on the steering whell
Hello All.
When I break I get a vibration on the steering wheel and steering column.
As I was told, this is a comum thing on these cars to happen, I have checked the front rotors and they seem fine, could it be the steering bushes ?
Cheers
Jorge

Also check your TCA’s track control arms, these cause vibration through the steering wheel if they are in poor condition

even if it brakes well ,it doesnt mean the caliper is releasing properly jorge and can cause a vibration in the steering wheel

👍👍
Iam getting more inclined to this possibility, because the car is used only a few times a year, so the caliper can indeed getting not to release properly, because of lack of usage.
I had similar problems with my other vintage cars
.the solution is to use the car for some days or take it for a long ride on the country side, outside the motorway, to see if the problem disappears 👌
thanks for the help 🙌

Normally the TCA to ARB bushes are very weak and can cause vibrations. Poly bushes should solve that.
