Car floating ????

Postby markcb73 » Tue Aug 14, 2012 6:57 pm

Hi just driving home and as soon as the car gets over 50mph feels like I'm floating all over the place ? Car does not look crooked etc? Any help would be great, as quite hairy on way home , as all over the place, it's my daily driver so any advice would be great

Hi Mark, Take it you've not been playing with tyre pressures ! too much pressure will have the effect you say. Try pushing down on each corner of car and see if comes back up ok and theres no strange noises etc, at leasts thats a start.
