check for marks on your anti roll bar and your driveshafts, could be catching each other when you turn and go over bumps?

I suppose that makes sense, how would I check them?

jack it up and have a look, if they're catching you should be able to see visible damage

Ok. If that's what is, is there any way to stop it without making the car higher?

Well on the side it's happening (passenger) it's slightly higher than the driver's side so I may lower is more to see if it goes away

shorter droplinks would help Alun! they would raise the Anto roll bar upwards and away from the driveshafts.

That means nothing to me to be honest Dan

. I wish I was more technically minded with these things.

has to be done when it's the only way over

even though you can end up looking like an idiot holding traffic up

mine scrapes going everywhere and im only down 60! the side skirts always catch on speed bumps! my leon cupra splitter takes most of the beating though which i dont mind it only cost 15 quid!

you approach the speed bump at as much of an angle as possible so that one of your front wheel is on the bump, you then full lock the other way and try get your other front wheel to go down first. It does actually work, didn't think it would help but it does. I have to do this in front of uni since the bumps are huugee, end up holding loads of people up and everyone staring at me as snake over bumps, thinking what hell i am doing

Sheffield the low cars worst nightmare!!!! anywhere you go it scrapes

Coming out of meadowhall i snake all over both lanes and get some funny looks!!! tescos on eccy road is another nightmare

The gold im looking at had to remove the splitter to get up the MOT ramp n even then it was almost scrapping!
