Last week was worse...there was one night where I could barely keep my car straight (cause of hektic winds not cause drink driving lol)

Clearly the factory spoiler is too effective

I saw a WRX slide into the median strip on Tonkin highway this afternoon. The car was rooted, I feel sorry for the owner, I don't know how you can f**k up driving in a straight line especially with AWD.

Unlimited grip until you suddenly have none at all, so I've read. Never driven AWD myself. Still doesn't explain straight road.

All I see at the moment is money clouds with this weather.

The more it rains and stronger the wind, the busier we are at work, the more o/t we can do.

Question for any smarty pants out there...

this morning on my way to work...pulled in to get fuel...left station and car started feeling 'weird'...like heavy steering, felt like shocks were sloppy and overall car kinda drove like tyres were under inflated or something?

Hopped in car on way home....notice brake pedal travel is now significantly shorter, kinda like what I expect braided lines to feel like.

Not sure if its in my head or whether the car feels slightly slower too and in my mind feels like a caliper is always on or something (but 90% sure that's probably me being paranoid?); but the shorter brake pedal travel has me scared something weird is going on?

Car is sedan, standard turbo brakes, had shudder for the last 6months, had brake fluid flush 6000kms ago, have a vibration from 70kmh onwards (which could be another issue cause altogether as I put new rims on and then vibes started (and had 2 balances and alignments)), couldn't see any leaking near master cylinder or abs box,106,000kms and shocks are bad if any of that is relevant?

Anybody got a clue? Maybe 4 different issues all happening at once lol mainly just wondering about shorter pedal travel.

Got scared when reading a vibrations thread; someone mentioned something about a pin going into brake cylinder needing to be readjusted cause it causes calipers to freeze up?

But yeah...sorry for long post but trying to put as much info as possible in case someone smart knows anything?

Cheers :)
