Doesn't feel right, almost died - declantg - 12-05-2013
Went to pick a mate up last night and while going about 50 round some bends (wet) the car just didn't feel right, hard to explain but will try.
I was turning the wheel but it just wasn't turning how I would expect it to, then when I corrected my position it felt wavy and I ende up on the other side of the road!
Now I know what skidding/ sliding feels like but definitely wasn't that, checked all my wheels bolts were tight and pressure in tyres,
What could it be??

Getunderneath and have a good look, tug on all the suspension components.
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - declantg - 12-05-2013
That's the next step I was thinking, will wait until its dry again, f*ck driving until then

Could be the rear beam mounts.
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - declantg - 12-05-2013
I did wonder about that actually, good shout.
How can I check them? Or is it a drop the beam job?

RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - ConorTRG - 12-05-2013

Are you on the original shocks dec? Had this with the cabby, was like driving on ice sometimes, other times you'd be doing 50 in a straight line and it'd start swaying like a boat. Sorted it with new shocks.
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - declantg - 12-05-2013
Yes poodle! That's exactly what it feels like,
Still on original shocks yeah
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - Eeyore - 12-05-2013
some ta technix coilovers will sort that out
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - samass - 13-05-2013
Don't you have saxo springs on the front too? Can't imagine that'd help at all
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - declantg - 13-05-2013
Yeah spaxo springs up front
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - samass - 13-05-2013
Thought so, get some coilies on there man, even shitty tas will handle better
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - declantg - 13-05-2013
Yeah that's the plan mate x

Sweet AS bruu
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - puglove - 13-05-2013
id go with scottbon this. sounds exactly what my estate is like. and its because the beam mount aelre totaly shagged on it. its just constanly steering from the rear in what ever direction it feels like.
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - rd070707 - 13-05-2013
Out of interest how much is it for decent beam mounts?
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - puglove - 13-05-2013
depends what you want solid or new gen peugeot ones
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - rd070707 - 13-05-2013
I like idea of solid but gen pug ones would do if they were cheaper
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - puglove - 13-05-2013
i dunno what gen pug ones are but solids are £180 inc vat from bbm IIRC
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - rd070707 - 13-05-2013
Damn...any cheaper solutions? lol

I think mine is doing this to, i have had a knock from the rear for a little while and also under heavy braking it feels like the rear is not right.
I have just got some solid mounts ready to go on.
RE: Doesn't feel right, almost died - puglove - 13-05-2013
umm no lol other than patten parts . dont qoute me on it but i think gens are around the £100 mark.
personaly i think the BBMs are well worth the money. i wouldnt go back now
