I agree. I can feel any little change in this car when it comes to handling dynamics. If something is off by a little the car handles differently.

Yep my tires were down to 32-33 psi a week ago and I felt like I was going crazy. I was looking at replacing my struts before I realized my tires were low.

Yep, it appears them meds are working fer ya there, Tcoat ......

@86Boyz ...... just get an air pressure gauge and check the tire pressure anyway ........ .......that's for being stubborn.

Broke stuff don't usually fix it self .....
