Hey guys, driving my WS Fiesta I'm noticing I got vibration through the steering wheel on my WS Fiesta when the wheel is turned right, but none on the left?
Its odd, anyone have any clues? Thanks guys. |

Flat spot or damage to the left front tyre, or front left wheel bearing?

How could I check damage to the wheel bearing? Just the normal wheel test?

Raise that corner of the car, and move the wheel with your hands to check for play in the bearing.

Maybe even a drive shaft.
Sounds like the symptoms of my old Eunos 500. And the solution was new drive shaft. |

When you turn right, weight transfers to the left side of the car, so anything on the left side that has to work a bit harder could be at fault - common ones are wheel/tyre related, but you may need to keep looking past those...

What I'll do is check tyre pressures, get the wheels balanced and a wheel alignment done, if its still doing it I'll investigate further.
I'm hoping for simple fix lol. |

Possible Buckled Alloy too?
Try putting the spare on and see if you can replicate the issue... |

I had a vibration going through my rear left tyre. It turned out that the shock absorber was worn and it had scolloped the tyre. A $28 check and Pedders will find the problem for you.

agreed for the Wheels Check.
Always worth it. Not to mention, you Tyre coudl also have a egg in the side wall from a pot hole. Or your stockie has become unbalanced. |

If you dont have any joy with the wheel balance/alignment i would be looking at the posibility of a worn outer( inner will show up all the time) cv joint that only has play when on lock
