Citroen picasso - Front suspension - larob

When driving my picasso last weekend I have noticed that the passenger front end seemed alot lower compared to the drivers side. I have checked the tyre and the spring and also had a mechanic take a look but seems to be nothing wrong. I still notice the problem every day now when I am driving the car which I didnt before,

Has anyone had any similar problem with their Picasso. Any help/ advice would be grately appreciated

Thanks Rob

I had a broken front spring on my car, making it slightly lop-sided. I kept looking at it quizzically for months and even had wheels off to check, but didn't spot it. There was just a short piece a couple of inches long broken off.

I would agree, springs ain't what they used to be.

I have had jacked the car up again and inspected the spring again using a mirror to get in where i can't see but can't see anything wrong. But like you say it maybe a small piece which has broken off.

The car is due its mot in the next couple of weeks so hopefully the garage picks up on it.

Thanks Rob
