Hi Guys,

Really hoping you can stop me worrying here

I was just jacking up the rear left tyre when I heard a quite a loud psttt noise, like when you take the nozle off when putting air in your tyres.

Really worried I've done something.

I was jacking it up at the correct jacking point with a proper jack.

What could it be ?

are you sure it wasn't just the rear shocks expanding as the load of the car was taken off of them ?
