Focus mk2 petrol jan 2008 - Vibration on steering wheel - drogers

My Focus has the 17in wheels, I bumped into a kerb in a car park early this week now I get vibration from steering wheel when at high speeds (darent say exactly what speed) on motorway- what is most likely reason

I wondered if a frt wheel has lost a balance weight .

Could be a variety of things, including the balance weight you suggest.

Another likely culprit would be damage to the tyre itself. You really ought to get this looked at as, if it is the tyre, it could blow. That could be very nasty at you-daren't-say-exactly mph!

Take it into a tyre place and have them inspect and replace/rebalance as necessary.
