Shakey steering wheel ?

[Ben_SaxoForte]

SO.. 1st off hey everyone and thanks in advance for ur help!

Ive got a saxo 1.1 forte and just lately the steering has started to shake quite alot.. especially over bumps in the road! also the steering doesnt seem quite straight :S when im driving in a straight line the steering wheel is a little bit to the left. I dont have a clue what it is and thought id ask on here before i take it to the garage and get charged a fortune to fix it! Ive got it outside on ramps at the moment so if u got any ideas Ill go check it out! cheers

Shakeing can mean wheels need balanceing

All sorts.
Ball joints
track rod ends
wishbone bushes
tracking
wheel bearing

well mine done this, it was cuz i buckled my front wheel, so it shook shockingly bad wen went like 70, and its jus the tracking and balancing to stop it turning left
try puttin ur front wheels on the back, and back on front, then drive, if shaking still there, it will be one of the above ^^^

same with me but apart from the shaking. my steering wheel is off center and is slightly turned to the right when i am going straight....is it a serious problem with mine or do i just need to center me steering wheel?

[jayjaylui]

urs is jus the trackin of balancing, nout serious :D

its not the steering wheel just being loose is it ? I had this problem of the wheel shaking when i braked when i fitted my new steering wheel. But the i tightened it up and it was fiine

i nailed my tracking when i hit a curb when it was icy.... have not got it sorted yet and did some heavy breaking today and went off to the left, was a laugh though. :D
