HA3+ spheres on a HA2 car?

Unread post by xantia_v6 »

Will C5 HA3+ front corner spheres fit a HA2 Xantia? the nominal pressure is a little higher, but it seems to me to be a reasonable idea.

Is it correct (for a C5) that fat pipes going to the strut tops indicate a HA3+ car? (I saw one in a breakers today).

interesting idea, are the threads the same between the style spheres and the newer grey kind though, id heard they were different but i know some people have fitted them to xm's in other country's

XM Prestige PRV6 92
Talbot Express Autotrail Chinook 89
Mitsubishi L200 Trojan 14
Xantia Activa 95, sold (missed)

Service Citroen is awesome, it shows me pictures of all the parts i used to be able to buy............

It has to be worth an experiment!

I believe so. The very last Xantias had some C5 mushrooms fitted and Rattiva still had one as a rear centre hydractive when I acquired her. I'm sure it had been there since new as it was reluctant to come off and when tested was almost perfect...

The only worry is if there is room to accommodate the bigger diameter of the mushrooms on the strut tops and in the rear cylinder enclosures...
