Peugeot 307 Oversteer Issue
Discussion
Evenin' all,
I'm staying with a friend of mine this week and his wife has just returned quite shaken after her car seemed to unexpectedly oversteer whilst going round a right hand bend for the second time this week.
Seems to only happen on right hand turns, anyone any idea what the cause may be?
No accidents so far but certainly a worry!

this happened to me a while ago. went through a roundabout and the back stepped out. checked tyre when parked, seemed fine. came out in the morning and it was flat as a pancake!
I had the same exact problem in my Golf about a year ago which costed me the front bumper.
This happened for 2 main reasons: I swapped my front weared up tires with the back ones,the back wheels (suspension camber) where way of and not aligned correctly.
So check the back tires and definitely do an alignment.

I had the same thing a few weeks ago when it was a bit icy, and again this morning. Roads are a bit slippery after a dry spell. Both times were around right hand bends.
Car pushed the front, then the back came round. Controllable at the speeds I was going (10-15mph), but removes any confidence to pick up speed. Steering feels vague when the steering wheel is at around 1 o'clock. Crossing lanes on the motorway tugs the steering wheel badly.
I'm at a loss. First I thought it was the front arm bushes/ball joints but they've been checked out. Similarly the rear arm bushes. Shockers *seem* okay. Tyres have plenty of life in them.
No way should a car behave like that, I've never known anything like it.
I'm supposed to be driving across Spain in a couple of weeks with my family, no way am I doing it with a car that handles so unpredictably.
If anybody has any advice please let's hear it!
