same on the clios only the williams is different.

trackign will make th ewheel light and feel poor. Also bad tracking will make 1 wheel turn out more than the other.

ok, that's deffo top of my list.

Can you identify those sounds though Chris?

Also does the 16v hubs and shocks change the geometry on the 1.4 in any way (52mm to 54)?

thanks.

ha ha, what does the gaiter usually rub on? And that creeking noise is pissing me off, sounds like it's coming from the steering wheel or something.

The 1st vid sounds like metal grinding? I was moving the steering wheel each way a little bit when i took them, with the engine off..

Should I just turn the radio up?

turnthe radio up much easier.

if its 16v then the gaiter rubs on the doenpipe.

The gaiter makes a squeaky noise if it rubs on itself which can vary with loudness.

But you shoudl be able to tell as your looking at the thing!
