Car feels "floaty" at 80+

[Powelly]

As per the title, Cruising along the autobahn last week on my way home and the car started to feel "floaty" at 80mph+ Its the best way i can describe it really, Anyone had something similar or have any idea where to start looking?
Cheers.

"Floaty at 80+" - Have you checked your baccy?

mine felt that way when I changed the rear ARB to the R32 one, sorted it fitting the front one also.

tyre pressures?

 

[Powelly]

Haha, Theres nothing in my baccy Tyre pressures are fine, might be worth checking the arb links then Maybe front/back's been changed and hence stiffer than the other.

My A3 always feels like that, but I'm on bog standard (and completely knackered) suspension.

Trailing arm bushes are the usual culprits for this....

 

[Powelly]

Right, Well at least I've got a few things to check now then, whereabouts are the trailing arm bushes?

i think mine need doing also as i have similar symtoms

i have changed my anti roll bar bushes (and bar) for eibach ones and i have oem (new) rear axle bushes. what else is left? wish bone bushes?

Forgot i even started this as i havent driven the car that much the last few months, But funnily enough it sorted itself out when i out my winter tyres on Dave, Did you get yours sorted?
