s someone got an XM power steering ram laying around they could measure the diameter of its body,
as although i have found a good used ram leak off rubber collar for my BX, as the little stub/spout fell off whilst i was doing the dreaded N/S rack gaiter,
and this collar is NFP from the dealers now, but the XM one is still showing as available

Re: BX to XM steering ram diameter
Paul service citroen does not show the ram leak off rubber collar for any XANT model as a separate item,
but it does for the BX and XM,
the BX one is NFP but the XM one is still available,
the XM ram certainly looks bigger in diameter that the the BX ram in service citroens drawings,
also thanks for the web link Mr Sticky, but i could not see any mention of the power steering hydraulic ram on Sucks whooooops i mean Sasic's site

I am ATM looking at a method of replacing Ram gaiters to make a better protected type so lots of random images is actually quite helpful

Re: BX to XM steering ram diameter
Mr Sticky
its not the rack gaiters ( i assume that is what you thought i mean ) im after but the small rubber collar at the neck of the ram, internal diameter of the collar is 36mm, obviously this is the OD of the ram body
