2001 Ford KA tramlining
Year: 2001
Categories:
Steering, Suspension, Brakes, Wheels & Tyres
Having just put 2 new tyres on the front, the car is now tramlining when accelerating to higher speeds. Its gone back to the garage twice to have the tyres and the tracking checked - all are OK. A visual inspection underneath by several mechanics has not yielded any answers.
One of the mechanics did mention he'd seen this once before on a different model, and it was due to the gearbox.
Any ideas would be appreciated, as I don't want to change the gearbox if its not necessary?
Many thanks.

sounds like your mechanic is feeding you a load of bull,you say you have had tracking checked,have you had a full steering geometry check done?this will highlight any problems with steering and suspension readings that you would`nt be able to see visually

Seen torque steer on more powerful Fords but not on a Ka . Check engine mountings .
