Bumpy suspension and poor front brakes

rowesa · Post by **rowesa** » 16 Jul 2003, 04:18

I have a xantia 1.8 1994, the rear suspension is very bumpy and the front brakes have lost partial pressure. When testing the brakes they respond very slowly and then snatch/bite and almost skid. The car has had the two outer spheres changed. From what I have read it would appear that changing the rear central accumulator would resolve my braking problem, bit I'm not sure if this would also solve the suspension. I would appreciate any advice.
Regards
Steve.

If its not had a new one recently (or at all) get a main accumulator sphere on it first, this is at the front and is screwed to the regulator which is bolted to the engine near the starter motor.
The front brakes are not affected by any spheres at the rear.
Is the suspension hydractive or standard, and is it anti sink or earlier.
