stability 850 95

posted by  someone claiming to be Dave O'Connor on  Wed Dec 27 07:50 CST 2000 [RELATED]

Is the 850 more sensitive to crosswinds and the turbulent air behind big rigs than most fwd cars? While driving on Route 90 last Friday I had an eightteen wheeler pull in front of me. there was perhaps 25 or 50 feet between us and my 850's front end began to bounce. Speed was about 70 mph and it stopped when I allowed the truck to get farther ahead. Next day I noticed cross winds also blew the car about. Not bad, but worse than my previous ride. Checked tire pressure and it was normal. Use Dunlop A-60 sll weather tires. Look forward to feedback.
