I have a Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec (W Reg), 130,000 miles.
It drives fine at slower speeds (though I can really feel the road).
I have noticed a Vibration (and a hum) in the front right portion of the car, when driving at 60 and higher. It increase the faster you go, when I hit 70 the steering wheel begins to vibrate and it gets a little aukward to hold the car straight. It does not seem to be pulling in any particualar direction. The vibration can be felt, through the seat, steering wheel, and peddles.
I have had the wheel balancing done on all the tyres and had a 'mishapen' tyre replaced, but the problem is still there.
I also have a problem from cold start, when I take a right turn I get a harsh vibration, but on a left turn it is smooth (maybe smoother than driving straight). I have a feeling this problem and the vibration problem at high speeds are linked.
I have taken it into garages and they seem to be baffled, the engine is fine and I have even had it hooked up to the Ford computer, with no resulting fault codes.
Any suggestions what could be causing the problem? Anywhere I can suggest the mechanic's look when I next take it to be looked at.
