#1: I am going to push my car off a cliff!!!!!! Author: alanamh PostPosted: Fri May 20, 2011 1:21 pm

I AM SICK TO THE BACK BLOODY TEETH!!!!

Tracking keeps going out.

IN January my steering wheel was shaking badly, took to local garage, needed 2 new front tyres as they were mis shaped. (they had been on about 5 years) this solved the shaky steering wheel, all was fine...UNTIL about a week later when tracking when out, took back to garage who said the tyres take a while to settle so re traced for free and ever since then it's been a nightmare.

The tracking keeps bloody going out!!!!

IN march the garage changed my steering rack end as said there was slight play on it - all was fine again until about a week after when the problem started again.

I must of had the tracking done 15 times since January and the wheels re balanced god know how many times.

Ive been to 3 garages and none seem to know what it is. I need my car for my job and need it to be reliable but to tell you the truth I don't feel safe in it at the moment especially on the motorway at high speeds.

Smeone give me some ideas please Sad

alloys could be buckled? Check the wishbone bushes for splits etc. Possibly top mounts?

Alloys are new only got them last week - kinda hoping they would solve problem but haven't Sad the garages have all said they have checked everything and found nothing.

i am going to take it peugeot in monday (having to take time off work!) and ask them, I will suggest the wishbone and track rod to them. I didnt want to go there as i know they aren't cheap but if they can get it fixed then its worth the extra i suppose

Only fit GENUINE Peugeot parts on the front suspension, total waste of time & money fitting anything else Wink

You need to find out exactly whats wrong with it before you replace any parts.

Just throwing new parts at a car in the hope of fixing a problem just ends up with a large dent in your wallet.

If a Peugeot main dealer was fitting them then yes due to there labour charges for fitting.
