HELP PLEASE !!! car veering all over ????

Post by firthyboy »

Can someone please help diagnose this unnerving problem. My 2001 peugeot 206 lx hdi as a problem. When getting on or off the gas (eg: when changing gear) the car veers violently to one side or the other (it is very unnerving). When travelling along normally the car steers straight and also brakes straight. Any advice greatly appreciated. :thumbs:

Something very loose or very worn in the suspension or steering. I'd get it checked urgently.

Have you got identical tyres on the front or are they different makes? If the same is one worn a lot more than the other? Are the tyre pressures all correct? Sounds to me like a tyre issue.

Welcome to the forum by the way.
