Scort_CVH Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 is that tyre a different size to the one you had previously? theres so many things it could be. when you say driving along - as in cornering, straight lines, over bumps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scort_CVH Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Broken coil spring, fooked shock. Unless the arch liner is hanging off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie4444 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 shock and spring are fine and them checked liner looks ok only thing i can think is the tyre as been stamped wrong and that it is not a 205/50/16 could that be poss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scort_CVH Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I've never seen it when I fitted tyres, only thing I can suggest is swapping the 2 front wheels and seeing uf it continues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottie4444 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 ok mate thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Same size doesn't mean same design. 205/50/16 is the wrong size on an Escort and is quite likely to rub with certain sidewall designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
