Xantia MK2 - Worn steering ram bushes

Post by lancia58 »

Hi

I have a Xantia MK2 with a power steering. The steering ram bushes are worn .When turning the steering wheel rapidly left/right a knocking is heard. I logged to Citroen service and could only find the steering ram ( part # 4005.A2) but not the bushes. Can the bushes be bought separately ( I need the Citroen part number ) or they are integral part of the steering ram ?

Thanks
Zohar

here are part No.'s and dimensions of the bush's for a BX

the bush's at both ends of a ram are the same size, so the first No. is for one type/age of ram and the second for later ram,

i would think then the later one will almost certainly fit a Xant ram

4059 06
STEERING CYLINDER ARTICULATION
DIAM 20
- UNTIL RPO 03614

4059 07
DIAM 22
- SINCE RPO 03615

here is price and part No.'s

Part Number Description Quantity Price excl. VAT Price incl. VAT Total incl. VAT Selection
0000405906 ARTICULATION 5.61 GBP 6.73 GBP 6.73 GBP

0000405907 ARTICULATION 6.73 GBP 8.08 GBP 8.08 GBP

Hi Malcolm

Thanks for your help. Do you also know the part number of the plastic bag that covers the ram ?

It was also gone in mine and never got a replacement. It looks like a "shower cap" :) but I can't see the part number in service pages :?

Hi

It turned out that the bushe's outer diameter is 24mm, I used a none Citroen part that was handy at the garage. I tried to find out what is the Citroen ref number for a bush with outer diameter of 24mm could not find. Anyone knows the number ?

Thanks

can you send me the last 8 digits of your chassis/VIN No.,

although i doubt it will help as service citroen do not show those bush's as a separate part for any of the Xantia's MK1 or 2

Zohar,

Are you talking about the bush on the end of the ram which bolts onto the rack. If so there is nothing listed,but the number are as follows for the complete ram:

4005 A2 for all
except
Turbo injection XU10J2TE,Injection ES9J4,TDXUD11BTE and TD DW10ATED which is
4011 47

I'm sure Malcolm will correct this if they are wrong.

Kenny says the bush's are not listed as a separate part, the part No. he posted is for the complete power steering ram/cylinder

i have sent you a pm. though which you might find interesting, regarding your car in general

Hi

Thanks Malcolm. That means that Citroen doesn't sell the bushes for the 4005 A2 ?

Thanks
