Steering Wheel Shake?
whenever i get past 50mph the wheel starts getting a little shake to it.
i've just had the wheels rebalanced and they were off by a hair but it made no difference when back on the car
any ideas as to what it is or should ford be lookin at her?

FYI, the RoadForce balance will help identify a tire or wheel that's out-of-spec. Once the RoadForce balance determines that all is well, then a standard spin balanceshould beall that's required.
My guess is the rotor clips ("keepers") shown above.

hey man i got the same problem, i brought it, and one of my rims are bent, no big deal, but rom 55-65 it shakes a little, i usally average 80mph, so no big deal for me..not worth buying a new rim, you prob have the same prob.
Just for the purpose of weeding out a problem wheel/tire, bring your fronts to the rear and rears to the front and see if that makes a difference. Also put the stockers back on if the previous step doesnt prove anything. That will let you know if its the car or the wheel/tire setup. When I get rims, and I usually go through at least 4 sets per car
, I put each wheel on the balancer and spin them w/out tires to see if they are out of round. You might want to do that as well.
