Bumpy ride

Post by canalchris »

My 2002 206 1.4 HDi has 116k on the clock and has developed into a very bumpy ride, anyone know of any particular thing that causes this, is it just new shocks needed?

First thing I'd check would be my tyres and wheels.
Tyre pressures ok? Condition OK - lumps or bulges? Tread ok? Not too worn? Balanced? Rims not bent or distorted?

You can check your shock absorbers by doing the bounce test.
