josh2005 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Afternoon all! I've noticed in the past week or 2 that during low speed turning of the wheel there is a creaking/shudder coming from the front of the car! It's fitted with Bridgestone RE050A tyres and I'm told it is because they are a summer tyre and therefore as temperature drops below 4c this creaking occurs! Can anyone confirm this or should I be worried something is damaged on the car! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Quite normal with 'summer tyres' when the weather gets cold, and no need to worry that it will cause damage. From my own Zed experience, it was more pronounced with the 370 that the 350's - no doubt due to different suspension set up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ackermann_steering_geometry But basically it's perfectly normal on road cars on wide tyres, so nothing to worry about at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Nice to know Mine was really loud this morning so I have just checked the tyre pressures. Now I have read this I am happier. I never got it in the 350 though at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
