sliding
« on: 19 May 2012, 19:46 »
hi all a weird one. i have managed to slide my car twice today. it was wet this morning but it shouldnt be sliding surely

i have just been out and even in the dry. i have managed to feel it go.

im not the fastest driver in the world and i have only just noticed it today.

i have checked the tyre pressures and there spot on. all tyres have good tread. even though they are basic tyres

I recommend you get your shocks and springs replaced. How are they? Bouncy with people in the rear? Bumpy, nosediving when breaking?
