1997 Ford Fiesta juddering

Car: Ford Fiesta
Year: 1997
Variant: 1.25 zetec
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
The car judders in the steering when power is applied and virtually stops when you dip the clutch. It gets worse, the faster you go and by the time it gets upto 50, it's terrible. It also gets better when going round a right hand bend. The shocks and CV joint are ok. Hope you can help.

I don't think it's that, I have changed all the whells round and it makes no difference!

well i can only think that its the flywheel warped with you saying the problem goes away when the clutch pedal is pressed or have the front suspension arms checked as these are common for front and rear bushes going cost about £15 each to buy over the counter of a factors but have these checked to be sure
