Xantia Activa Active ride struts.

Post by Pleiades »

Hi all

Just a bit of info to share with you Activa owners.

I have allways thought that when the bushes fail in the active ride strut, you either have to get a new strut or make your own bush, as the Citroen dealers all say "part not available". Well not any more, I have been speaking to a customer this morning and he owns one of these beasts and whats more he managed to get hold of the bush from the main dealers.

For your information, the part number is 5171.13 and it is described as articulation.

This is not down to me but down to a customer who gave me the number.

A little info shared helps keep us all on the road!

Cheers.
Martin.

That part was briefly out of stock but is now avaiable again, the big problem with it is that when it came back into stock Citroën UK moved the decimal point one place and the price changed from £18 to £180 I kid you not :shock:
