Hiya fella'sJust replaced the drop links..bottom ball joints, discs and pads plus the coil springs on my 6...the problem I have is that there is a floating feeling when I drive it and I have double checked the strut position sitting in the hubs on both sides and they are both in place...that feeling is doing my nut in cos I want to take her on the bendy roads for a good run but feel it is a bit dangerous with this s**te going on...any help or advice is appreciated. |

I had same thing with tyre pressures of all things. tightened up all the suspension renewed and it felt terrible on turn in and soaking up bumps. set tyre pressures and was sorted. though it did develop a floaty rear beam not long after when entering roundabouts at speed.. .. ________________________________________ 306 less for first time in nearly 7 years. Lets keep it that way... please refuse any offers i make to buy your 306 ( doctors letter supplied by request)Marmite and cheese sandwiches anyone???

Could it be the shocks ? And it's just bouncing on the springs . ________________________________________ Old pugs don't die they just get faster |

Did someone inflate your tyres with helium? Garages are renowned for doing that to make you bring it back for more work |
