Steering Problem - Mk1.5 Focus 1.6 Zetec
Hi Guys,
Wonder if anyone can help?
I have the car given in the thread title, which has recently had a track rod end fitted.
I had come to notice, however, that the tyre on the respective side has been wearing very fast on the inside edge. The other tyre is fine.
Additionally, I've noticed that the road wheel on this side seems to not be totally straight - the top of the wheel seems to be pointing inwards slightly (camber??), whereas the other wheel is straight by comparison.
I've since had the tracking set, and now my steering wheel isn't straight, and i'm getting tyre squeel. The road wheel, as the point above, still seems to be at a slight angle.
Lastly, the steering feels quite heavy.
Can anyone help? Sorry for the essay. It's ruining, what is otherwise, a good car.
