Hi people

This is not a question about the night after a curry, rather when I am scooting along on our winding Scottish roads if I go over a dip in the road I am experiencing a scuffing noise as if something is bottoming out, I think it is the rear tyres just touching the top lip of the wing. I have a 1998 C4S with 18mm spacers (techart rear spoiler) I have run the car for three years with no problems, 37,000 miles, is it possible that either springs or shocks are worn, I have also had an occasion for the rear to feel as if it wants to step out on a long very fast bend.

Help much appreciated.

Dave,

Sounds like your dampers have gone.

If you are still running the original munroes, ditch them and get a set of Bilstein HD's, they will transform the car.

Where in Scotland are you? If close by could let you see how the HD & H&R package feels.
 
Hi William

I have no history of the dampers being changed, is it a possible DIY job [8|], I live near Knockhill.

Dave,

Dampers defo shot. They are rubbish anyway.

I am over in North Berwick, so if you want to have a look and compare cars we could meet up.
