I've had an extensive assessment of my car from Citroen with technical support from Head Office. The car isn't supposed to do this and there has not been found to be a fault with the car per se.
I have had the wheels realigned, this didn't solve the problem, nor did changing the wheels.
What has solved the problem is the front tyres have been changed for exact same spec. It seems that there was a fault with the tyres, not visible. The car is like a breath of fresh air to drive again, I was on the verge of selling it. Maybe there's been a bad batch of tyres around and we're all unlucky enough to experience them.
If you have your warranty I'd suggest that don't just put up with it, it's not a great driving/consumer experience. And get it sorted.
Good luck.

If this is so, it would be helpful if you could post the brand and size of the tyres.Julieread2020 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 22, 2021 2:55 pmI've had an extensive assessment of my car from Citroen with technical support from Head Office.

Re: Front tyres jumping/knocking
Are they all 16"? Are there other optional diameters?

Haven't encountered this malady.

My C3A also has Bridgestones215/50/17 and done under 30,000kms and has the same problem. I live in France so it seems to effect LHD models as well.
