All he said noticed on the way home ... slightly disconcerting over a fairly rough bit of road I travel regularly (they start mending it this weekend .. 16 weeks of shit about to happen at J16 M4 - avoid it !!) as they definitely transmit more of the road surface imperfections into the car, but its just a matter of getting used to it.
Add the fact that Chris helped me sort the steering feel out to the "tighter" back end and the handling has certainly improved.
Two interesting things will be .... 1) what SWTSMBO thinks of the ride 2) What difference it will make when towing ... both to be found out tomorrow evening
.....And the verdict on both counts is?
I thought I'd posted this already ... but if not I apologise ....
1) SWTSMBO did not notice any difference until asked .. after a short while considering the matter said .. "maybe you can feel the road a bit more . but it's hardly noticeable"
2) Towing .. it was only 15 odd miles each way, so not really a decent test. Certainly not at all "worse" in any respect. It did seem a tad more "stable" in a straight line, but that could be because we sorted the steering out ...
Obviously with the tin tent on the back I don't chuck it about so body roll is not really comparable. Sorry its a bit of a nebby response .. but I think the answer is "not a lot of difference" TBH .. but a decent tow including some motorway stuff might be more informative.
