Rear suspension bush Xantia td 94

Post by steff »

Hi, my Xantia needs a bush on the offside rear suspension arm; is this bush strictly a dealer item? and how difficult a job is it please?

It's not a bush, it's a bearing. It's available from GSF, as part of a repair kit which is not overly expensive. Changing it is not that hard if you are DIY savvy, although getting the old bearing races out of the arm can be 'fun' - access to a MIG welder helps here - run some weld around the race and the heat / contraction makes it fall out.
