Xantia front spheres

Unread post by froggy »

Hi, Iam about to replace my front spheres on my series 1 Xantia . My question is: When you change the rear spheres you need to undo them { slightly} while the suspension is on high, then lower and depressurise . Do I need to undo the fronts on high ? same as the rear ,many thanks Teryy .

No as the front struts are held in place to the inner wings by four bolts, the rear struts/cylinders simply sit in a bracket so without the suspension on high putting pressure on the cylinders they flop around.
