2003 Clio 172
Right chaps.....sorry for the delay.
Ok, this started way at the beginning of this year when we had the terrible snow and the roads (well over here in NI) were utterly destroyed.
Car was already a bit loose and i was putting this down to the worn Uniroyals at that time.
Wifey was driving the car one evening after and hit a big pothole......she told me and i went out in the car a bit concerned but didn't notice any big change. Still floaty, but still bald tyres. Bald in general.....not chewed btw. Worn evenly across the tyre and got about a year out of them. Car still tracked laser straight even after this by the way.
Anyway, i stripped the suspension apart shortly afterwards as i was just going to refresh it and found worn top mounts, duff ball joint etc and just started the refresh process to get me where i am now.
Now.....silly comments aside, I am left with a fully new (apart from steering rack bushes) suspension setup up front and a car that handles like s**t and really want to try and get to the bottom of it and understand what is happening.
I hope to get to the alignment people this week who can print full setup information as with all the new components, this might give an insight.
Dan, deffo not straight.....down the motorway i am running left hand down by about 5 degrees. I am surprised the car hasn't complained from an ESP perspective yet
