Vaxhall corsa R reg, 1.2 and motorway?

Question

i feel like i loose the control over my car when i drive over 50 or 60 miles. any idea why. i have checked the wheel balance and its ok.

Answer 1

Firstly, check your tyre pressures.  One tyre with lower pressure will pull the car to that side.

If tyre pressures are OK then have the steering geometry checked at a garage.

You shouldn't have any probs if these are OK.  I've had my wife's Yaris, 1litre, up to 80 with no bother.

Answer 2

50 or 60 miles distance, or 50 or 60 miles per hour speed?

Answer 3

If you mean 50 or 60 MPH then have the tracking checked (the alignment of the front wheels)

Answer 4

You can get a 1.2 Corsa up to 50 or 60?  Blimey!

Answer 5

"Losing control" is a bit vague, but it could be badly inflated tyres, worn steering, bad tracking, or even bad shock absorbers.

It could also be the nut on the steering.
