Doesn't feel right, almost died

[declantg]

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.

[declantg]

That's the next step I was thinking, will wait until its dry again, f*ck driving until then

[Scott]

Could be the rear beam mounts.

[declantg]

I did wonder about that actually, good shout.

How can I check them? Or is it a drop the beam job?

[kingy]

steering rack???? mrs has the same problem on her golf and been told its the rack.

[ConorTRG]

I'd say it could be the rack aswell.

have you posted in the girlfriend thread? I hear they appreciate a good rack there as much as your mechanic did

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.

[declantg]

Yes poodle! That's exactly what it feels like,
Still on original shocks yeah

[Eeyore]

some ta technix coilovers will sort that out

[samass]

Don't you have saxo springs on the front too? Can't imagine that'd help at all

[declantg]

Yeah spaxo springs up front

[samass]

Thought so, get some coilies on there man, even shitty tas will handle better

[declantg]

Yeah that's the plan mate x

[samass]

Sweet AS bruu

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.

[rd070707]

Out of interest how much is it for decent beam mounts?

[puglove]

depends what you want solid or new gen peugeot ones

[rd070707]

I like idea of solid but gen pug ones would do if they were cheaper

[puglove]

i dunno what gen pug ones are but solids are £180 inc vat from bbm IIRC

[rd070707]

Damn...any cheaper solutions? lol

[titch]

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.

[puglove]

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
