Default 2002 c5 please help

hey now, heres my story , i need help, just bought 2002 convertible, runs great. my rear calliper was making a little noise, i brought it back where i purchased it, i felt it needed brake attention or rotor. i get the car back, they resurfaced the rotors and putnew pads on.cheverolet did not do the work.my car now drives like it has no sway bar and when i accelerate the car doesnt know to go left or right, also when i hit the gas and jerk the car a little it feels like the passrnger wheel is pushing all the power to the driver rt frront tire, you can feel it perfectly. i hate it , my car was perfect before the brakes, my car has had 1 owner and it has 24000 miles on it., talk to me boys![IMG]http://[/IMG]

Check to see if the tires are in the right corners. It sounds like some idiot rotated them.

That is a great third post.

Sorry to hear about your trouble with your new car. However, you will be very lucky to find someone willing to help out now.
This is the largest forum for Corvettes with tons of knowledge.
I would venture to say that you made a poor first impression with the lack of grammar, spelling and general sentance structure.

You might consider trying again.
