Got hooked on the turbo Fords right after I moved over here. Love them. Was looking for some help/advice on a wobble im having on my BA F6 manual. Its when you pull out of a junction from a standing start in first gear, just softly pull away and there is what I would describe as a wobble or shimmy from the rear of the car. Only for a second then its gone! Strange I know. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have checked all the usual suspects ie diff bushes centre bearing uni joint... Thanks in advance Stuart Edited 18/10/16 04:21 AM by b19yng Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheel nuts. Air in tyres. Grandmothers shoe size. Hard to diagnose over the internet Jack it up and move components around. If all fails, take off in second Edited 18/10/16 04:31 AM by arronm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b19yng New Member 5 Member For: 8y 7m 7d Posted 18/10/16 04:44 AM Author Share Posted 18/10/16 04:44 AM Yeah I totally understand, checked the rear end with a fine tooth combe,, all looks good, its a strange little wobble only in first for a split second... Its got new cv shafts, new diff bushes, new centre bearing and uni balanced tailshaft. only strange thing I noticed was the centre bearing has home made spacers between it and the floor. Does this sound correct? The tailshaft looks straight exiting the gearbox though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
