bumpy rear

[MattyMarsh]

The rear of my 182 Cup seems more bumpy than usual. I suspected the dampers but Renault can't find anything obvious. They unscrewed the dampers from the wheels and tested the dampers for resistance. I was standing there when they did it.

The tyre pressures are okay. I believe the balancing is okay, but not 100% sure.

A recent tracking reports shows the following-

- left rear camber is -2'05 degrees (outside the normal specifications)
- right rear camber is -1'02 degrees

- left rear Toe is - 0.1mm
- right rear Toe is - 2.0mm


Any suggestions ?

Replacing the rear tyres has resolved the problem.

They were worn down and only just legal. The car handles so much better now.

Thanks for all the suggestions

I didn't think the rear wheels were adjustable :S

D1CKY - I dont understand.

The worn tyres made the ride feel more bumpy. I was surprised by this, but replacing them did cure the problem and also made corning feel much better. Sticking new tyres on the back is my advice.
