docterozlo Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Hey all I had a odd thing happen at a slow speed coming into tesco's carpark as I was turning right the car didn't respond an kept going straight on , almost felt like the drivers side wheel was still straight as it was trying to turn but when I parked it up an visibly checked to see if I could spot something I decided to take it round the car park again an it didn't do it , so I'm not sure what it could be :S , only thing was the car park was slightly damp but there was no sign of oil or ice , just Abit concerned that the car may do this at a higher speed ! lol Any thoughts will be helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scouserchris Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Probably current road conditions, tends to be this time of year were you get loss of traction and understeer moments even at slow speed. Happens all the time on mine but mine isnt helped by still not having time to get rid of last two AutoGrip tyres from fronts, just take it steady and be a tad bit more gentle then normal for a week or two why theres so much salt on roads.

_Chris_ Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Car parks tend to be very fine tarmac which gets very slippery when damp, salty and cold combined with tyres like poxies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
