C5 x7 Tourer suspension part number help

Unread post by Clarkie89 »

Hi,

Had a spring snap on my c5 tourer. It's getting on now (2009, 135k) so figured I'd replace the whole strut assembly to save having to do it again any time soon and to make my life a bit easier (bad experience with a top mount previously on a different car)

Been having a look round for parts and there seems to be a few different OEM part numbers coming up when I put in my reg. I was wondering if anyone here knew how to figure out which one I'm after?

Thanks

I have your VIN - but you didn't mention front or rear? and secondly is it both springs and shock absorbers you want?

Sorry was half asleep when I wrote the post. It's for the front and I was thinking of doing the shocks and the springs at the same time as it saves me taking it apart again any time soon.

Another question if you don't mind, I was looking at the top mount for the struts and a lot of them are saying without roller bearing? A few say with so I'm assuming it needs the bearings?

Thanks for the responses guys.
