Experiment with different presures from 28 to 34 psi, you will then find a happy medium that suits your driving, I use 33 psi all round.

hi arron

im at the point where i think my rear springs are shot

when you load your car up ,and i mean 4 up ,full tank and luggage

does it rub on the rear because mine does

with 28 - 32 unladen it feels very stiff and safe now i am replacing the rubbers on the back bar like you said

can i get stiffer spring but not lower it ,if so which make come in best

thanks inadvance

Doesn't sound good sam - back in september there were 4 of us (totalling 70 odd stone!!!) plus a roof box that had 10 stone in it and it was no problem at all - even doing 3 figures down the autobahn...........

Not sure as to what springs but plenty of scooby websites out there or someone on here I'm sure could help

Whats your tyre size as i've been through this recently,you really need to have a 40 profile tyre with a 215 tread width.

Anything bigger/wider will touch on the rear arch when loaded or cornering ,as i said been there,done that and worn the T shirt.

Sheepie,is your wagon a classic shape one ??????????

[mark_sheepwash]

No m8 new age 52 reg

[M25 FLYER]

New age 17s as standard hence no rubbing,Classics 16s as standard hence your tyres rubbing on the rear arches...
