Absolutely loving the car but have two queries for existing T350 ( and I suspect Tam owners ). The suspension on my car squeaks when going over bumps at slow speed, it sounds bit like metal moving against rubber, do they all do this sir? Also, when braking quite hard the feel of the brake pedal changes to a light vibration, is this normal or should there be no vibration at all?

Cheers,
Howard

Edited quietly in the hopes that no-one spotted my failure to spell braking correctly...

Sounds like you have got ABS fitted by mistake.


Seriously; no.

Doesn't squeak, (can't hear it, anyway) and while I have not braked hard for a while now with these wet roads, I've not noticed the judder.

The suspension shouldn't squeak - something needs looking at. The T350 should feel solid and tight with zero rattles and squeaks.

Brakes can feel a bit 'rumbly' when braking hardish - people say it's the drilled discs causing this sensation. Not how true this is, but my Chimaera did it once I switched to grooved discs.

Suspension - the suspension bushes need re-greasing.

Brakes - it's just yer cross-drilled discs - "They all do that Sir"

I hope this helps
