Right
So I replaced the rear antisink, front accumulator, and both front corner spheres on my 98 2.1 td sx. The only ones I haven't changed are the rear corner spheres.
Front is now super smooth and no more clicling from the accumulator
My only problem is everytime I get in and start the engine, the front rises, then the rear?
Why is this happening? I've cleaned and greased the rear hight linkage, and have the right amount of lhm fluid in the reservoir.
Thanks

Re: Front and rear rise once car is started
Not necessarily anything to worry about if the rear is only a few seconds behind the front. Both my current Xantia and previous one typically rise at the front first then the rear, and they both had a full new set of spheres.
(Opposite to old Citroens like GS/CX where the rear always rose first unless heavily laden!)
If there are no other symptoms I wouldn't worry about it. I suspect it's the influence of the anti-sink sphere that causes the extra delay at the rear as you have one extra sphere to pressurise compared to the front.
