Hi all, yet ANOTHER problem with my Fiat.
On my way home from work earlier and approached a roundabout. I braked as normal and heard a metal clanging sound. I didn't think anything of as I came to a complete stop. My path was clear so I proceeded to turn right when all of a sudden, there was a tremendous amount of understeer. It was as though the car just did not want to turn at all and was sliding on ice. I carried on, thinking what the hell was that and it happened at the next round about.
I proceeded with extreme caution and began to realise it only happened when turning right. Turning left was normal, but right turns had to be taken very slowly otherwise the car would not turn enough.
The roads were damp (but they were soaked on the way to work and it didn't happen then). There is still a good amount of tread left on all of the tyres and they are around 17 months old.
Please bear in mind, it is only a 1.2 Active, so I am not thrashing it around. I never go above the speed limit and do a paltry 60 on the motorway.
