Xantia – Leaking steering ram

Post by lancia58 »

After replacing the buses and the arm cover I found out that the ram is leaking ( LHM in the plastic cover). Can a leaking steering ram be fixed ? Any Citroen fixing kit? The part number is 4005A2

Thanks

service citroen do not show ram seals,
the only item they do list but not under Xant, for the XM ram is the seapage return rubber collar,

Part Number Description Quantity Price excl. VAT Price incl. VAT Total incl. VAT Selection
95640212 LEAK BACK UNION 6.43 GBP 7.72 GBP 7.72 GBP


it really depends on how much fluid is showing at this point to if the ram seals are/have failed,

it is normal to have a weep/some seepage at the rubber collar, but not a flow of citro blood
