Hard suspension
Probably been done before, but the suspension in my 98 1.9 td xantia has gone hard. Can anyone point me in the right direction for advice please. Thanks.

Hi Yorkie,
Has it suddenly happened or has it been gradual? A gradual deterioration in ride will be down to the spheres loosing pressure.
If it has happened suddenly and your Xantia is either a VSX or Exclusive with Hydractive suspension, then this points to a problem with the Hydractive system.
Are both ends of the car hard?

Spheres would be the best thing to try first. They're only cheap now, about £18 the last ones I bought.
