aye, but 38 is too much fer normal running. I use 30 all round unless I'm towing, then I put an extra 5 psi in the back.

True all down to personal preference I suppose. I think these are probably guideline figures moreover, don't run less than or more than type of thing. i normally run mine at about 30 all round, unless i'm sticking the whole family in plus one or two more.

That's a good link that griff posted, i paid about 8 quid each for the 2 rear shockers, fitting is a piece of ****, took about 30 mins. remember to soak well with wd40 or other on top and bottom bolts either side the night before you replace them just to ease the removal. a good socket set and breaker bar can also come in handy.

Could be a combination of both.

What ifffff....... his shockers are knacked anyway but they aren't causing it to bounce all over the road like he says. does that count?

ffs! that's waaayyy too high.
I run mine at 30, which seems just right.

FIFTY psi!
Treworgy is tight!

Have a close look at the small print on the tyre walls.
See if you can find a little section called
US and CANADA Codes Only.
Most tyres have this, and it gives valuable information about two things, (1) the maximum LOAD per tyre, and (2) pressure recommendations, as worked out by the tyre makers.

Go by those figures; never exceed the maximum pressure, and especially NEVER drive the car if the tyres are over maximum recommended pressures, as the first and every bump or pothole may well cause internal cords to fail.
