Question: Experienced random 'limping' from driver side
I drove my car a short distance to run an errand the other day. After returning to my car, I pulled out of my parking spot and experienced what felt like a completely flat tire. The car seemed to limp on one side. I immediately stopped, got out and inspected the tires. While I do have run flats which can be difficult to diagnose as being flat, after inspection, I found that they all appeared to be in good shape. I preceded to slowly pull forward again to find the 'limp' was still there. I got out yet again, looked under the car to see if anything was amiss and could not see anything. I got back in my car, started to drive and felt nothing as to the previous extreme. I continued to drive cautiously back home and did not feel the extreme limp the entire way.
That day was particularly rainy and wet, with an excessive amount of water on the road.
I am not quite sure what would have caused the 'limp', and if it is something I should have checked out professionally or if it should be chalked up to a random occurrence.
