Hi, you guys/girls seem to know a lot so was wondering if you could help me,
I recently bought a fiesta with 2 buckled front alloys(unknowingly I might add) and have had a lot of problems with my fiesta and was wondering if they could all(or most of them) be down to the buckled alloys.
1.When starting the car from cold it idles at around 1250rpm(not sure if actually a problem)?
2.The steering feels pretty light(even worse at speed) and when driving over potholes/bumps ect, the steering wheel jolts from left to right, when braking it tends to jolt left or right, steering when also shakes like crazy at 55mph+ (I'm assuming cause the buckles)
3.There is quite a judder when slowing down, most noticeable in 1st and 2nd gears, judder is also noticeable when moving off from idle in 1st/2nd gears.
The things I do know is that is some play in the front left wheel, the 2 back coils need doing quite badly, the cooling fan spins but not as freely as it should, it needs a new alternator belt, last but probably not least the back left wheel drum is slightly warped and does not spin as freely as it should.(any of these contributing to my problems)?
So sorry about the long post any help would be appreciated especially on the steering.
Thanks.
