Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Steering Wobbles

I have two steering issues

1. if I let go of the steering wheel the car pulls to the left - alignment problem?

2. at low speeds the steering wheel has a continous wobble that goes away at higher speeds.
I also notice this wobble after a trun as the wheels are coming back to straight.

Checked the steering fluid level - seems OK.

Any ideas, is this a simple balance the wheels and alignment or is it a steering / suspension problem.

Bent rim
Bad tire
Wheel bearing (is there a sound to it?)

Well it isnt a rim, that would be worse at higher speeds because the wheel would be going faster.

CV jounts/boots, would be a cause of that, or any damaged component of the steering and or suspension.


With the car pulling to the left, I would go to Belle Tire for that alignment, they do a very good job of doing them on Contours and it is done right the first time.

Ball joints/Tie rod ends

check for tire balance and allignment. it might be a bent rim hit any curbs?
