    Thumbs down Yet another problem with my calais

    Ok, so havent driven the car for about a week or so, got in it tonight and drove down the road and it felt and sounded like I had a flat tyre, the car was also pulling to the left pretty bad, so pulled over first chance I got to check, and all tyres were fine. So got back in and started driving again, now the steering was ok but the whole way it still felt and sounded like I had a flat tyre in the rear...

    Any ideas on whats broken now? I mean other than all the other countless things that are wrong with it

    Have you checked the tyre pressures? So much crap being dropped on the roads these days it's very common to pick up screws and other things that fall out of contractor vans/utes.

    tyre pressure was a little low in one of the tyres, fixed that today, but was still doing it... (while I was turning the volume down to listen out for any noise the button on the steering wheel broke off.... lol)

    My last two flats were due to some nails on the road, I would have thought thats what it was, but checked over and theres no nails to be seen

    RJK.. balancing weight? what am I looking for? Me = biggest car noob out

    chargedvx6, thanks. Any idea on cost? because last time I had to replace some type of 'bush' it was more than I would have liked (I'll show some restraint and avoid making the obvious dirty joke)
