The universal joint between the rack and steering column has play in it, I've tried nipping up the bolt but the wear seems to be in the joint itself. Can these be replaced and how hard to do it?

Feels like something is slightly worn in the front steering or suspension possibly ball joint as it feels metal to metal, any common faults on the c5?

As title mine was missing when I bought it

So could somebody comfirm that if the spheres de-pressurise over time will that make the suspension harder or softer? In my view the gas leaks which causes there to be no absorbancy resulting in a car which would handle flat, eg similar to when you lower a car with springs

Thanks for your reply mate, didn't get any manuals with the car is there maintenance needed on the suspension, only one suspension fluid tank I assume which fluid is required to top up Is there anything that needs replacing on the suspension over time??? Not over familiar with the hydractive suspension Just seems to roll excessively even at relatively low speed's (30mph) I have to use the armrest to keep myself upright never experienced anything like that before, and have driven many cars and vans, especially bad when going round a right corner. One of the reason's I bought a C5 is my boss has one and it has done 140,000miles and it seems to handle alot flatter it's 1.5years newer but otherwise identical to my knowledge

Just purchased a c5 estate 2.0hdi estate with 315,000miles :rolleyes: To be fair everything still feels really tight and is a testament to citroen Its the first citroen I've owned and am unsure if the suspension is ok, it seems to roll excessively through bends so much that I have to hold myself in the seat. Is this normal or is something amiss?
