#1: steering issues Author: Elldan, Location: CoventryPosted: Sat Sep 04, 2010 11:07 am ---- my brother has an ford escort and when he turns the steering wheel to turn a corner instead of the wheels wanting to straighten back up as they normally would it tries to pull it towards full lock. does anybody know what could be causing this??
cheers

Take it somewhere like Tyre Sales on Humber Road, or, Windsor Garages off Deedmore Road. The only 2 places I genuinely trust to diagnose steering/suspension problems in Coventry.
Both are honest and neither will rip you off.

#7: Re: steering issues Author: bugawuga, Location: midsPosted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 2:01 pm ---- Guys, stop being idiots. Granted this is a 206 site, but what happened to the community spirit?
I was here long before most members - back in 2006/2007! & I can remember the sense of people wanting to help one another - not this "you've posted in the wrong section" bulls**t. Get a grip and help fellow members out.
#8: Re: steering issues Author: cartoonhead, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Sun Sep 05, 2010 2:33 pm ---- see if one of the front spring's has snapped, look right up in to the top as little sods snap high up inside the turret.

So I would check tracking asap as your mate is a moving danger to himself and other drivers on the road, if it's as bad as you describe.

It's not nice to tell people when/if they can post or not.
And you wouldn't be helping the friend if you just rushed-back and told him whatever the first reply you liked was.
#14: Re: steering issues Author: Gavin28, Location: BlackpoolPosted: Thu Sep 06, 2012 3:50 pm ---- My Fiesta did the same when one of the front springs snapped at the top, but as others have said it could be a number of things like bent suspension arms, tracking etc....
