Fiesta ST 2015 steering problem

Hey all,

Just picked up a 2015 Fiesta ST and I’m having a serious issue with the steering. Hoping someone here has come across something similar.

Symptoms:
  • Car pulls quite hard to the right constantly
  • Steering doesn’t self-centre after turning right (but does after turning left)
  • Steering feels looser turning right, tighter turning left
  • Just had the tracking done twice, alignment printouts confirm toe and camber are in spec
  • Castor angle is slightly out, but the garage couldn’t adjust it back to spec
  • Tyre pressures are fine, wheels and tyres all matched
  • No obvious damage underneath on ramps

I have called multiple garages local to me and they aren’t to keen to look at the issue for me.

What’s been ruled out:
  • Alignment (done and confirmed twice)
  • Tyres/pressures
  • Obvious bent arms or visible structural damage (nothing found visually)
One ford specialist I called reckoned it could be a steering column but that was the most information I got.

Has anyone had similar issues with pulling and refusing to self-centre in one direction?

Would appreciate any insight before I commit to major repair costs.

Thanks in advance!
