rear suspension linkage

Post by meexi »

Hi,
Xantia failed its mot today on a faulty rear linkage.When the tester jacked itm up to free the wheels the little white clip broke.
Can i buy this clip on its own or do i need to buy the whole linkage

My local dealer had one in stock when I needed one, they are a common part for people to replace.

Hi Kowalski,
You dont happen to have the part number handy as it will save a long time at the dealers RP no chassis no etc

It probably broke because the linkage is siezed, if so the same thing may happen to the new one, or worse still the ball end on the roll bar clamp may break.

Meexi if you send me an email webmaster@andyspares.com with your address I'll send you a new plastic link with metal ball thing, I've got a few kits hanging about at home.

thanks for the offer Jon but my local dealer had it in stock.
dave burns was right the linkage was totally siezed but luckily my dad had a spare one also found out that the height controller was partialy seized aswell had to dismantle it insitu as i could not get the pipes off working perfectly now just needs the MOT.
thanks to all
