Check your pressures!

I had new tyres put on the rear of the FL a few weeks back, and for a while now (a few weeks with hindsight Laughing ) I have been thinking of getting new rear shockers as the car was skipping at the back on eneven surfaces and the ride has been generally very harsh.

Anyhow........decided to check the pressures earlier as I do periodically but obviously not often enough and to my horror/relief the rears had 42psi in them Shocked

There are two types of muppets in this world....1st being tyre fitters that don't inflate to rec' pressures and 2nd the one's that trust other people Laughing

Smooth ride now returned Thumbs Up

You were lucky! A friend had his Chevy serviced in the States and they pumped the tyres up to the "max" figure on the tyres. It was undriveable!
