BX rear arms- A cautionary tale.

[tomsheppard]

I have just spent the day rebuilding the rear arms. The rear wheel steering feature is now largely disabled but there is a snag. I will have to strip one side down again because although the inboard bearing track was clean and I just changed the bearing, I had not realised that the bearing track supplied in the repair kit has a thicker wall and the bearing sits too far in on the old track, causing play. So when you do this job, change both inner tracks, then you'll only need to do it once[:(]

This also applies to Xantia rear arms - since the bearings/rep kits are the same.

Why if they can change track sizes etc cant they chage the rest of the design so we don't have to go through this procedure?
The early GSs suffered with it but they fixed it on the later ones, so why transfer this design fault across the range of CX BX, Xantia... oh yeah and my mate has a Pug 405 guess what, yup same design I wonder why Pug adopted this daft idea when they joined with Cit?
