C5 / XANTIA REAR SUSOENSION ARM BEARING
I have looked at www.citroen-pr.net and it would seem that the C5 uses the same bearing as the xantia, xantia 2, and bx saloons as the part numbers match, does anyone know if the kit required to change the bearings is the same, reason , i can get a bearing kit from my local M/Factor for the xantia etc but the C5 is not listed.
The BX & Xantia (saloon) rear arm (pr side) repair kits contains the following bits :
1) bearings (2 ea.) : 75.472.408 - ARM BEARING
2) seals (2 ea.) : 5154.14 - SUSP ARM SEAL
3) thrust cups (2 ea.) : 5133.20 - BEARING BUSH
4) spacer tube : 5132.52 - SUSPENSN SPACER
5) plastic sleeve : 5179.12 - SEAL PROTECTOR
6) bolt : 5132.44 - ARM SHAFT
7) locknut : 6939.63 - SELF LOCKG NUT
8 ) washer : 4712.28 - PLAIN WASHER
Items 1, 2 & 5 are identical for the C5
The following items are different on the C5 :
3) (thrust cup) : 5133.26 BEARING BUSH
4) (spacer tube) : 5132.68 SUSPENSN SPACER
6) (bolt) : 5132.67 WISHBONE BUSH
7) (locknut) : 3739.18 SELF LOCKG NUT
8 ) (washer) : none
Observe any thin washer(s) near the thrust cups, as this (these) would adjust the preload on the bearings.
The repair kit is available from GSF and is MUCH cheaper than purchasing the bits from Citroen. But this may not hold true because of the bits differing for the C5.
