hi everyone, i have my suspicions about this, but under normal acceleration the car is fine, i think, but if im accelerating away from traffic lights and put my foot down, the car steers/pulls to the right, as soon as i take my foot off it straightens up, ive also got a gudder when i brake, ive only had the judder since the passenger side front road spring was replaced, i have checked the tyre pressures, and they are ok

you are suppose to fit coil sprihgs in pairs although most people don,t also was it a genuine spring. pattern ones are not always the same also is it the right spring for your model/engine size/gearbox there lots of differernt springs i know i used to sell them,colin

both front springs are new, both fitted by the same garage, the first at mot time last October, the last one 4-6 a go, as soon as i got the car back from having the second spring fitted i had the shaking when i braked, Ive been back to the garage and said that when i brake at speed the whole car shakes, they put the car on the ramp/lift took the n/s/f wheel off, checked the work they had just done, said every looked fine, its just strange that the car was working fine, until they fitted a new n/s/f spring.
i expect they wont admit anything may have been damaged, but I'm thinking along the lines of the damaged low suspension arm bushes when they did the spring, would this give the symptoms i have
