[Steering & Suspension] Broken Spring

[Jimmy_Spanner]

Hi

Hope someone could give me some advise on a few issues im having with my 2011 Citroen Berlingo XTR B9 ex Scottish forestry van.

Last week the O/S spring broke, I got a new spring and top bearing from local motor factors and replaced what was left of the spring and bearing.
Went for a test drive, stearing in smooth with no knocks/bangs/grinding noises, but now the van wants to go to the right slightly all the time.

Could you guys give me any advice/recommendations to try and correct this issue ?

I took pics of before and after, only thing I did notice when rebuilding the strut was the new spring seemed to take more effort to compress,
appart from that it was quite an easy job.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Jimmy

as far as i know you are best replacing both springs at the same time, as the other spring is 9 yrs old it has more than likely become a bit weaker and this could cause your van to pull to one side if the weaker spring is sagging a bit, may also be worth having the tracking checked out
