I have a shudder through my Ford Mondeo at 70-80mph. I used to have it at lower speeds too but that was helped when I changed all the tyres recently. I've balanced all the wheels and had the tracking done...

I'm an avid reader of your column and I'm rather upset about a recent garage experience. For the past two or three years, the Mercedes-Benz dealer at Warrington has been sending me a printed MoT reminder...

When I turn left with either shopping or someone sitting in the back there is a scraping sound coming from the left-hand rear wheel. I have checked the tyre and the wheel arch for signs of wheel contact...

My car will give a jerk (one time jerk) each time it is coming to a standstill. The jerk is coming from the rear portion.

My back wheel on the driver's side - there is a banging sound coming from it, checked spring etc. but can't see anything wrong. Seems to be worse when on a uneven road. Car is an 02 Fiesta.
