C5 MkIII spheres question

[Johnno]

Hi guys, I think the rear spheres on my '59 plate X7 (that is the MkIII, right?) 2.2 are progressing towards being less than optimum and I've tried finding replacements, but they seem really hard to come by. GSF don't have any and their suppliers, TRW, only have two (!) on back order, with any further orders not until December. IFHS in Belgium supply, but before I go down that route: Are the front and rear spheres on the saloon the same spec? I only ask as I have an '07 2.2 Estate with front spheres under a year old and as I intend selling or, more likely, scrapping it, I thought I might just rob those and do a swap.

Any thoughts?

Cheers, John.

Try AEP Direct.
Feedback here is that they are very knowledgeable regarding Citroen parts and supply very quickly.
Ideally ring them and tell them what you want and they will offer advice as to your best purchase.

Thanks Steve, good to hear that they are worth dealing with. I'll drop them a line tomorrow.

Johnno, what makes you think your spheres are shot? I'm driving an 09 X7 with 137k miles on and mine are still super comfy.
