stiff front suspension

Post by ed_straker »

As the title says:
-struts make no noise, car goes nicely up and down
-spheres are only 2 years old but they're cheaper non-citroen ones

When trying to press the front of the car down it only moves by a max of 2 cm :cry:

Any idea?!
That's one of the last things about this car that's really going on my nerves.
After 2 years of throwing silly money at it im almost at the point of feeling of owning a real car ;-)

Thx, i guess you're right.
I know, i could just hav'em tested. :roll:

I've learned: Get original spheres, it's cheaper in the end.

Edit: hunky dorey?!
