Hi guys. I got into the car sunday afternoon (The only time I get to drive it these days!) and soon after driving off I dabbed on the brakes and there was a 'clunking' type of sound from the front right. My brakes are on the way out, so I figured it was them, but soon after I could feel vibration from steering wheel and by my feet (Not sure if that was me being paranoid, but their was vibration in the pedals I think!).

I took the car home asap and jacked it up, As I was lifting the right hand side, their was a funny sound from the suspension so I had a look and the spring looked like it had come out of the place that it sits, and the coils looked uneven (Compared to the front left, looks like one coil is overlapping the other), also the spring had rubbed on the inner wheel arch and rubbed off some of the dirt/paint which im pretty sure it's not supposed to do!

The thing is that their was not much stress on the suspension as I was only doing about 5-10 mph, and their have been no previous funny sounds or vibrations from that area.

Anyway, anyone got any ideas with whats wrong, im hoping it's not going to be expensive! kindasad.gif

edit: Forgot to mention - I was in the GT4
