Focus ST 2.5 Help in Aberdeen

[Rickeh]

Afternoon guys,

I have had a wheel wobble on my car, mostly between 60-75, since I got it, i've tried various things including balancing several times and it's driving me crazy and spoiling the car for me.

I'd really, really appreciate it if someone without a wheel vibration issue would let me swap my wheels over with theirs for 5 minutes so I could diagnose if it's my wheels/tyres at fault or not.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,
Ricky.

Ok... Brief story of fault diagnosis...

Initial 19'' wheels and tyres = wobble
Brand new 18'' wheels and winter tyres = still wobble

3 wheel bearings have been replaced in the last year. Both rears, incl hubs, changed recently, which fixed a droning at the rear. I can't really feel it through the seat but can feel/see a pulsing/vibration in the wheel. Pretty much disappears at 85+

Garage says the winter tyres I have aren't round, after I asked them to balance my wheels again and investigate a bit.

Really don't know what to make of it.

Had new discs and pads all round in my possession, braking makes no difference to the wobble.

... Anyone with a focus ST willing to lend me their wheels for 5 mins? I'll do all the leg work...

Did you check engine mounts?

Not yet but i'm working on the car tonight so I could. So I am checking to see if the engine/belts are coming into contact with the driveshaft?

Can't wait to fix this, so annoying.

As far as I can tell the engine mounts are ok. No sign the engine is sitting lower than it should do.

Shotty of some wheels any ST'ers?
