i have recently brought an xr2i (H). when i first got it it was driving perfectly, but i was going about 80mph the other day and it started bouncing slightly. i still bounces from the front passenger side wheel, or n e way it feels asif its bouncing, its normally at higher speeds 50mph +. when it does it all the panels inside the car rattle.it is only coming from the left wheel though. I changed the CV joint and checked it was all done up tight ect...
anyone had this problem before?????

also i hear a clunk noise from under the bonnet when i change gear dodgyly, its not a CV joint + could it be a mounting????

thank to n e one who can help :eek:

Get your wheels balanced mate that will solve your vibration problem and def get your engine mountings checked.

the clunk could well be a cracked or loose engine mount, does it do it when u come off the throttle to change gear??
