Will Xsara front strut fit a Berlingo ?
I need to replace a front strut on an 04 Berlingo multispace, it seems to share a lot of components with the ZX/306/Xsara vehicles, has anyone transplanted the front struts?

That would do, they are both plentiful at my local breakers, all of the blingo/partners look like they belonged on farms and worked as tractors.

is it one where the hub assembly slots underneath or bolts onto the font?

edit: all of the former types part numbers only match up with partners or berlingos. i was wrong, the 206 style is similar but completely different part numbers through the range


edit:

5208n1, from an XUD 306 matches up with partner part numbers :?

right, bit bizzare this

the part number E270471 seems to apply a handful of cars (including yours) and is listed as the pair, PSA but age >=3 (which, judging by the dates on servicebox, is anything pre 2008), but when checking almost none of them listed this part number on their diagrams. leads me to think its cross referenced somewhere. using the individual part numbers only comes back with partners or blingos 8-[

managing to find them on xsaras and 306's fitted with the dw8 engine aswell, but also tu engined variants.

and, funnily enough, ZX's! so you were right. it might be worth getting a good measurment of your current struts and seeing how similar they are before you rip them out of the donor vehicle!
