PROBLEM AFTER LOWERING

Well this one comes from my usual EU sources.

It seems that after lowering, that the CC can have a tendancy to pull to the left or right.

It seems the cure in the Peugeot books (now this aint a joke ) is to loosen the axel, drive round a corner and then tighten it up again.

How bizarre is that.

A quality fix from peugeot though (suppose at least they have a fix for it - it must be their first).

OOOOF ! Sounds rather scarey to me !

Just had mine lowered 40mm and seems fine... Admittedly a bumpier ride (I prefer the term "more responsive" or "livelier") but Im very happy and expect to be through a set of tyres before the summer is upon us... (too much fast cornering)

check the tyre pressures first.

Most garages dont bother with this even though they tick it on the Pre Delivert Inspection sheet. I have found 32PSi to be about best.

If this fails try driving on a large car park (superarket after closing) to see if its the road surface that causes the problem.

If this fails then back to the dealer for a full wheel alignment and camber check.
