Hey guys,
+- 71500 miles on the clock in my 197, and I think I have few parts to replace. First of all, I need to replace the eninge mount, but I don't know if this can affect the handling. This is the real issue: when I drive the clio at +- 45 mph or higher and I give a quick twist at the wheel, it feels rather odd. Just like you turn the wheel and about a second later, you feel the back from the car trailing behind, with some sort of delay. Doesn't feel sharp and sporty at all... My guess would be something that is getting worn out in the suspension? Ball joints perhaps?
Also, when I brake hard at high speed, the back always tries to step out. I know this is rather common on the 197 but it's a bit too much imo.
Slow speeds (like taking a roundabout in a 'sporty' way) isn't an issue...
Any guesses?
