Activa Spheres

Post by petef »

Does anyone know where I can get an Activa front balancing sphere? I have tried GSF but, although they list one for the rear, the front one has disappeared from their listings. I realise I can go to Citroen but at what price??

When i did my Activa sphere change 2 years ago i struggled to get any of the spheres from anywhere but Citroen. Cost me a fortune! You looking at around 70 a sphere, and that was then!

Have a chat with Martin at Pleiades..

He said in an earlier thread that he could supply all Activa Spheres.

in extremis you can use a standard Anti-Sink sphere in this position as it is conected to the hydraulic system in the same way; via a small diamater pipe and seal. It is in fact, an accumulator although it plays a significant role in controlling roll stiffness in conjunction with the rear-mounted Activa balancing sphere.
