Xantia rear height corrector - torque setting

Post by Xantidote »

The rear ride height was 30-40mm above the max specified in BoL, and I have now adjusted it, such that it's now only 5mm above the max specified. It was last adjusted by Citroen 95k ago, and for some reason has become much higher over the years. Is this just wear in the system? Perhaps the clamp bolt wasn't torqued up enough?

Can anyone tell me the torque figure for the 11mm bolt head that tightens the anti-roll bar clamp, which the plastic link connects to? Have I missed it in BoL?

Dont think theres an Actuall setting, just a "Sensible" tightening to it will be enough ..

OK, thanks Paul - just thought I'd check. It had a "sensible" tightening to keep car on road, but in view of it's importance, thought there might be an official torque figure.

I'm wondering if it wasn't tightened enough when adjusted many years ago, but I don't want to overtighten and risk stripping a thread
