I guess he means the rack inner balljoints. Checking my Old V6 the other day I noted the weeniest bit of play in one of mine.

They're a bit of a menace to swap.

here's a couple of pictures:

RichardW had a session with these a while back and his thread (I'll try to find it) is a good read. Another member came up with a very good homemade tool for undoing the balljoints.

i see you dont have the special loking washer in that second picy Jim,

i just looked it up on service citroen and it doesnt show it for a XANT,

but under BX here is price and part No. if its the same dimentions as for a XANT that is


Part Number Description Quantity Price excl. VAT Price incl. VAT Total incl. VAT Selection
0000405825 WASHER 1.52 GBP 1.82 GBP 1.82 GBP

0000405829 WASHER 1.68 GBP 2.02 GBP 2.02 GBP



and i thought they were the same at both ends of the rack, but obviously not,


regards malcolm
