Hi Guys,
My Series 1 Activa passed it's MOT but did have an advisory that there is a slight leak on the front anti roll bar (ram). They also said that the rear one is leaking too but my Citroen garage told me that it's the front that is worse.
Can anyone advice where I go from here, can they be repaired, does anyone have a known good one for sale?
Thanks

Thanks for the link, my Citroen garage have already performed this modification but it doesn't seem to have done the trick in my case.

Ye they can be repaired....(Most) often it is the leak back seals that are the problem.

The tool I made for the removal of the scraper....you can borrow this if you need to....easy to make with the correct size washers and threaded rod however

Re: Wanted: Front Activa Anti Roll Ram
There's a trick with the front as the XM repair gaiter is a little large and needs to be packed out to ensure a good seal at the top. Also, the lathe work to make a clean sealing surface is vital to the success of this repair.DS21 wrote:Thanks for the link, my Citroen garage have already performed this modification but it doesn't seem to have done the trick in my case.
