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 ?
