Firstly, how do i put pictures on here?!?!?!

Secondly, the big problem...

I bought an 88 escort 3 door estate with a 1600 8v engine from an xr2i,
when i got it the shocks were proper knackered so i changed them over with some i got off a H reg escort rs turbo but now when the car gets to 30mph i have such bad wheel wobble that the front end shakes!!! Strangely enough though if i take it out of gear and roll at 30 its not so bad.
I am a novice with a few mates that know odds and soda but we all pretty stumped at this one.
Tracking been done, and its not the wheel bearing, even had wheels balanced again to check!
Looking at her she is squatting on the front end and we all agree the camber seems out, but A.) i have no idea if the camber can be changed on the front end and B.) no garage i have asked is sure either!!!

This is my project car but typically i have hit a stumbling block already!

Any help would be greatly appreciated as i wanna keep her, despite calls to get rid from the missis and friends that dont like a challenge!!!!!!!!

Cheers for reading

is the wheels tight?

mrjenrst

sounds like you've fucked something up while changing the shock's. Bottom arm ok?

id say track control arm bushes, check see if they look worn or are worn

FiestaStroud

so if i get new bottom arms will it sit better? like i said as you look at it front on it looks like you got a horse sat on the bonnet!!! if you get me.
cheers for the ideas though
will get checked out
any more? lol


P.S yes the wheels are tight!!!

boy-racer-1

wel id say its about the only thing i can see causing it other then steering rack/pinion problems have you checked thats all tight? and make sure the shocks and dampers you bought if second hand arent collapsed/ f*ck*d, im not an expert on mk4's so i couldnt say for certain, go on feoc-uk.com haz on there knows mk4 escorts inside out and will probably know what problem you have

If youre unsure on this problem then get professional help, you can never be too careful esp with steering/braking etc,

Failing that, book it for a MOT and see what it fails on!
