Trophy #387
So I got into my car either Thursday 14th Feb or Tuesday 19th Feb (can't remember which) and it felt rotten, the wheel was all over the place with strange pull and it didn't feel nice, even at slow speeds (in rolling traffic)... I then had some horrific understeer later on in the journey where I accelerated away from a roundabout on a slight bend and the whole car pretty much refused to turn.
Since then on various corners to and from work I have been suffering from this issue. Literally to the point where I am having to crawl round corners to avoid losing control.
I have driven the car at high speeds and I know what the limit is, but this lack of grip is occurring way below that. It's actually at normal speeds, which is the concerning thing from my point of view as that is likely to mean there's other cars nearby that I could crash in to. Even in the 1.2 I never had handling issues.
I thought at first I may just have been going too fast but it's happened all too much for it to be anything other than a mechanical fault.
Tread looks fine on the tyres, pressures appear to all be fine (how far out would they have to be start messing with my grip??). Can anyone give me any advice as to why this is happening? I've got a feeling i'm going to be getting a hefty bill for whatever is the cause when it goes into the garage at the weekend.
Thanks guys,
J
