felt a bit bumpy
« on: 13 October 2009, 22:55 »
all of a sudden tonight it feels a bit weird, was driving to my mates house on the dual carriage way just toddling along and the ride just felt a bit od the front wheels felt bumpy not sure if its to do with tyre pressure but checked the bolts on the wheels and they are tight not really sure what it could be weights missing from the wheels? did have the tyres changed last week but they were balanced etc

Does it vibrate through the steering wheel?

Mine felt like that and I thought I'd knocked a weight off one of the wheels.
