2001 1.3 - approx cost to fix tracking? - bluewater
My Fiesta Flight (Y reg 2001) has been tracking to the right for the last short while. Also at high speeds (65mph and over) the steering wheel vibrates and moves very slightly from left to right.

It's been ok to control but I'm taking it to my local Kwik Fit tomorrow in Gravesend as it needs to be looked at (I haven't been living in my area long and don't know of any good local independant garages, and don't work locally to ask colleagues who they recommend).

Has anyone had any experiences as to what might be causing this and how much it will cost to fix?

Grateful for help.

Tracking out of adjustment will cause it to pull one way but wont cause a vibration, that is more likely wheel balance problems or worn suspension/steering components.

Last time i had the tracking adjusted it cost me £25, but that was a couple of years ago !
