Hi.
When i go over speedbumps (very very slow) it seems like my front 2 wheels area is making a hard bangin noise very scary at times and same with raised roads such as railway crossing maybe.

And my steering seems abit tight at time has power steering.
Edit: car has a very very slow puncture *should i get this repaired* as i was thinkin it may damage the inside of the wheel.

It's a vauxhall corsa 03 or 04 i think with a terrible 83k miles (some boyracer probably had before previous owner).

  • Obviously something is wrong. Take it to a garage and describe the symptoms. There are so many things that it could be, it's not worth listing them all.

    Yes, get the puncture repaired. You don't want it blowing out at speed.
  • Is it a bang or more of a creak? I only ask because I have a 54 Corsa and it makes a horrendous noise over speedbumps - it's the anti roll bar!

    Not saying this is the same thing as you describe though :D
