xantia bit hard

Post by andy007 »

hi all

have an m reg with gen 32k on clock and a moth ago had all 6 spheres changed by my local garage ( he's being doing my cars for yrs) as the rear was getting a bit hard and not much of the bounce on the rear.
Also, when you went over a manhole sunk a bit more than the council would like, you would get a noticable "thump" on the rear end. The same thump was there if there was a small pothole or inward ridge (no more than 1/2" as i've measured one in my road.. sad eyh .. in the roadsurface.. hope you all know the things i mean.

since the spheres have been replaced the the correct bounce and suspension criteria is as it should be and when driving on nice smooth road surfaces its like being on a hovercaft. smooth and enjoyable... only problem is ..... the thump is still there on the potholes or dips in the road. it only seems to be the pits not the sudden raised surfaces we get confronted with in the road at the last minute. It just doesnt feel quite right.

Please can anyone advise

many thanks in advance

andy
