Morning,
I have a loud knocking noise from the rear end of my MRS's C3. I got it up on a ramp and found out what them problem is... but I dont know where to get the replacement part from as Citroen UK cannot get one for me. The part I'm after is on bolted to the rear subframe, kind of like a large cylinder, say a good 200mm long or more in length and rough diamater of about 150m. There are 2 of these bolted to the subframe, just inside the rear wheels.
The problem lies with the O/S one as the rubber inside seems to have worn away and every time the car goes over a bump it makes a really loud knocking noise, like if you hit metal skip with a metal hammer!
Has anyone come across this issue before? and can anyone point me in the right direction of where to locate a new one?
P.S if anyone has any issues with Exhausts, Cats, DPF's or Turbos I can help with any issues you may have...or any questions you may want to ask.

Morning James,
To be honest, there aren't many people with C3 let alone Pluriels on here, a couple of pics could be useful.

Can't post a pic at the mo, but they are clearly visible on the parts site. Try another dealer? They are not listed as NFP, so should be gettable - might have to come from France and take a few days..... I'd have thought that if they were prone to wear, then they'd be a 'common' replacement. You might be able to get one from a breakers, but might not be any better than the one you've got!

I know the parts you mean (each side is a different size ?) & i don't know exactly what they are supposed to do.
I cant think that you would notice any difference if you just ripped the metal outer part off ?? i know what i would be doing if it was me. Either that or try filling it with silicone sealant.
