Xantia, one bouncy corner.

Folks, I am again looking for some advice. Last week I had some work done on the car to get it through the MOT. this included two new Citroen spheres on the front. Since then I have noticed that the front nearside has almost no suspension travel. Car is a non-hydractive model.
Is there anything simple I can check which may be causing this, or could it be that one of the replacement spheres is defective (they were definitely changed)?

Cheers

Ainslie

Could one of the spheres be the wrong type?

It should be easy enough to depresurise the system and swap left too right, and see if the fault moves.

I suggest you immediately contact the garage that did the work, explain the problem and arrange to take it back for them to inspect and rectify - if there is no suspension travel, the only possible cause is that the sphere on that corner is defective.

Nobody else (you included) should do anything to the car - otherwise the garage can justifiably claim that it's not their fault.

I shall do that tomorrow, the garage is conveniently near my workplace.
