megane 2 1.5dci moves

Postby bass junki » Sat Apr 16, 2011 6:56 pm

hi guys, the other day i was on the motorway, very rarely do i go on the motorway, but had to....anyway, at high speeds say 70mph....my meagne would suddenly for a fraction of a second move to the right and sometimes to the left, i could feel the car move no matter how hard i tried to hold the steering straight...any ideas what it could be or should be replaced ?...i was thinking it of track rods ends, but there doesnt seem to be any play in the steering that i could notice..

check your tyres pressure then do the tracking and ask them to check if they see anything abnormal.

cheers

tyre pressures are all fine and i have excellent tyres...car drives fine at low speed, just on motorway or high speeds...perhaps its the wind that moves the car about because these cars are so light....its like the movement you feel when a juggernaut or big truck passes you on the motorway lol.

Can confirm Eddie's post: mine won't drift about as you describe even with a caravan attached at 'motorway' speeds. Is your steering wheel centred when you are going in a straight line?

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

meganes 2 are not so that light, in fact they are of the heaviest on this car segment. About your problem you shouldnt notice nothing unusual unless you pass very windy places, otherwise its strange and should be investigated...
