Shocking roll

Post by SoLaMaNdA » 14 Oct 2004 07:16 pm

I have nice scrape marks on the front underside of my 360 which seems to have occured from fast cornering. I've heard it scrape along the road when pushing hard, (probably too hard ;)). Has anyone else suffered this?

the underside of the car shouldnt be ever touching the road on a corner - is it the wheel arch or just the underside?

Only does it on the corners of the front underside 'spoiler'

Shock absorbers? Snapped anti-roll bar? I've scraped my front valance a couple of times, but that was going over hump-backed bridges, etc.

You know how to test the shocks, right? Bounce that corner of the car a couple of times...if it bounces more than once when you let go, your shocks are shot.
