Jasp Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 I've had this car about a month now and the firm suspension is driving me nuts. The entire car rattles and shakes like crazy on anything but a totally smooth road. You can feel every groove in the road. I think my sat nav is in danger of shaking itself off the windscreen. Are there any cheap ways or otherwise to make the ride a bit more comfortable? I have 17" rims on it. Would changing to 16" (the standard I believe) help at all? Cheers.

Jasp Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 Well I dropped the pressure in all the tyres to 22 psi and this seems to have solved the problem. I'm worried now that 22 is a bit too low so I'm gradually pumping them up to find the sweet spot. The recommended pressure is about 36 psi, which is unbearable at low speed over a rough road. It is quite shocking that such tiny bumps in a road can transmit this much vibration into the car. I'd be worried about this vibration causing some sort of damage.
