Front suspension drop links

Unread post by KennyW »

Hi gang,

Can anybody confirm if the drop links in the Xantias are the same length because my supplier has 2 different nut sizes M10 and M12.

Cheers

Thanks Anders,

Read thread and it was as I suspected an age thing.
My query was due to my new drop link snapping on hols (see thread from a few days ago) and I just fitted new one.
I compared it to old one i had and it appeared slightly longer , Imagination possibly :wink:

Just an aside to all this my friendly auto supplier was speaking to an independant citroen mechanic and he said if badly fitted and not tightened correctly they snap. :!:

Thanks again
