Hi - I've just bought a 14 plate C4 Picasso and it has the same issue. Does anyone know if you can still buy these joints? I've searched extensively on the www but can't see them anywhere (I've searched on the name and separately on the part numbers). Cheers

Thanks Richard. A quick update if anyone else is having the same problem. I've just spoken with my local Dealer who has confirmed that the joints are no longer available as a separate buy. The whole assembly for each side has to be purchased and they cost £77.42 for the LHS and £82.07 for the RHS with fitting coming in at £136 :(

My reading of the parts database is that post July 2016 they went to a single piece unit - for the earlier cars they still list the separate bushes, but there is a suggestion that they could use the later one piece arms instead. It may be that if you're paying £80/hr to have them fitted, it's cheaper just to fit the one piece units and not faff about with getting the old ones out; they may also be considered to be longer lived. If you ask if they can get the part numbers listed, they might be able to. Otherwise you could look for a later car that has had a rear end shunt and is being broken and see if you can get the one piece units off it cheap(er).

Would this be the same on a 66 plate grand picasso it's only done 26k. I've had a mysterious rattling noisy for over a month that nobody can find and someone else on another post mentioned these I think. I've gone underneath and both can be easily pushed up and down by hand (but not making a noise) so I thought as they both are the same it's normal? I take it that's wrong and they are supposed to be solid?

These are the things that I'm trying to find out about. I did a oil change on my c4 grand picasso and notice mine move up and down by hand was wondering if they was supposed to be solid. Does anyone know?

Hi I've just spoken with Citroen and apparently these are no longer available as a separate part and must be ordered with the sub frame extension at a cost of £118 +Vat each!!

anyone know where to get some or I feel a modification coming on as I need to sort this as it makes a horrible noise when going over even little bumps

That's exactly what I thought and the same part numbers I already had.

I've managed to order them for another place without any issues.
Hi, is any chance you could let me know what is a part nr 13and20 on diagram please

I have this issue with mine. Where did you buy the bushes from, I'm struggling to find them anywhere.

They're no longer for sale individually, as they've redesigned the full beam with the bushing integrated into it.
So instead of a £5 each part, they now cost around £100 each for the full beam with the new integrated bushes.

Your best option is to find a replacement from a scrap yard/second hand.

The only places I can find them still available today is Russian and Lithuania (old stock) - but they do not ship.
