Hey fella's, new to the forum although been lurking for a while. Just bought a MK2 Mondeo 1.8 as a bit of a run around for work really.

My front drivers side coil spring snapped at the beginning of this week so had both fronts replaced at an independent garage. However on changing them, they said I had a bit of play in one of the bushes on my offside wishbone. I had suspected something of the sort with a knocking I was getting when reversing and braking.
I ordered the parts and had them fitted today. After the springs were done Monday, car drove fine as per.. but after having the wishbones done the car drives completely different, in a bad way.

It's a little hard to explain but accelerating it feels as if the car is sliding side to side, going round corners (slowly) to gain access to my street it feels as though its under steering and steering feels light.

I am going to take it back on Monday for them to check it over as I don't feel like I want to drive the car any more, which is a shame as it drove brilliantly this morning when I dropped it off.

Can anyone shed any light?

I had a new qh bottom arm that the bush fell completely out on. Could be tracking though.
