This has been bugging me since picking up the car. I am more bothered than most because my young lady is disabled and feels every little jolt as painful.
I reduced the tyre pressure to 39 all round when I checked the car after collection. The ride was bad ever imperfection in the road causing noise and vibration. On further inspection of the placard it said 35 psi for comfort and that did make a considerable improvement. I thought the car was probably worn out after 150000 miles and started to amass all the parts to return to new condition. Reading the reviews of the car when new the ride was described as fidgeting and that was certainly the case with every blemish in the road causing the rear to shimmy adout.
Quite by accident I seem to have discovered what is wrong with the car, not mine but all of them I suspect. Now the ride is great, every bump is a dull thump fully damped and not troubling at all, it feels like a Bentley. I do not want to say what I have done on a public forum however if anyone is interested I would gladly start a private conversation with a group or individual.
