Tires and Wheels problem
1991 Renault Clio Wheel Drive Type unknown Manual 95000 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hi, I have recently noticed my car is suddenly jerking either left or right and is especially worse when going over bumps. It is quite sudden and i fear i may hit something when it drags me over. I noticed the rear tyre pressure was only on 16psi when the others i put to 28psi. Could this have been the problem or is it something to do with the wishbone? When i put the rear tyre back to 28psi it didnt do it as much. Thankyou. Jenny.
