Offline | supposed shock absorber problem hi there, my dad was driving my car today and came home and was complaining of how the suspension seems to be messed up in my car...he said it wanders on the road and also it takes bumps very harshly...i agree to this..i mean compared to other cars its quite harsh when going over small potholes and it does wander...but then again i have sports suspension plus on 17" r90s on runflats...could it be down to this or do you think i could have a suspension problem? any help would be appreciated..the car also only has 22k on the clock..thanks ![]() |

Offline | What kind of car does you dad drive? MINI SS+ on 17in runflats with 22K on 'em can seem pretty harsh to someone who's used to something cushier. As far as the wandering goes, find a smooth road or large parking area and get it rolling in neutral at a good clip to see if it truly wanders or if the tires are just following the road irregularities. From my experience, runflats get extremely harsh as they wear and the steering feel can be affected if you don't conscientiously rotate the tires to minimize the higher wear at the inside of the tire due to the camber settings.
