Xantia strut top (sphere mounting bracket)

Post by jimmydod »

I have a 2001 2.0Hdi and upon reading the danger of rust and rubber disintegration I am giving serious thought to replacing both of mine. Who though stocks them my local factors think nobody but main agents do. My experience of main agent prices gives my wallet apoplexy. Does any one know a supplier.

I'm yet to see a Series II Xantia with strut failure, where there's been no funny business.

Personally, I would spend the money elsewhere on the car!

Many thanks citronut for taking the time. Vin No. 72378951. Had a pre mot check and failed on a power steering pipe from steering rack to a flexible just behind the radiator does anyone know is this the famous Citroen flare or a more conventional one and is it possible to buy one ready made.

Regards and thanks
