Re: Sphere Identification
That's a CX front me laddo. Saloon front, not turbo. True it should be 75 bar. Funny I have a single CX front too. Where did you get this? I got the single one from Nigel painter

Re: Sphere Identification
I have CX Turbo spheres on the front of my Xantia TD. They are 75bar, 500cc size and have a slightly firmer damper than the standard CX saloon. On the Xantia they work very well giving a floaty ride without being OTT. I do wonder if their increased movement has contributed to the sudden demise of the anti roll bar links though. As such I've refitted the standard Xantia TD fronts (60bar, 400cc and firmer damper) as the rattling was driving me nuts.
The same CX spheres were too high a pressure on my BX 16. the 75 bar of gas wasn't squashed enough and it actually gave a really crashy ride as the wheel couldn't drop down pot holes.
CX rear spheres on the Xantia were totally mismatched to the car - way too soft and crazy. Trailing arm leverage etc must be different to the CX.
But CX fronts on the Xantia are great!
