Know Issue

[Guest dragonfire]

Hey there guys, am i glad to see this site,

I have a question to ask regarding a supposed charachtistic with the c4, When the car hits a bump or pothole in the road the car sometimes has a tendancy to hop or slide, up till last night it would happen and would be ok, but last night on my way back to a freinds i hit a pothole, the back end jumped out and the car ended up in a roadside hedge fence.

It completly wrecked the front left wheel, there looks like some damage to the brackets, I think what im asking is has anybody else had the same tyoe issues?.

(just to say i am sorry for the spelling as i sometimes cant get my words right).

Thanks

Rich

Sons c3 Picasso did that recently, garage reported a broken drop arm link, I assume that's the same one that annoyingly rattles when it starts to wear

Linkeage in my c4 went yesterday you can't miss it because it makes a rattle underneath as if something's loose every time go over a bump/uneven road .

The Citroen part no. for the anti roll bar drop links is 508777 but this should be checked using your car VIN. At citroencarparts.net they are £30.85 each. If one side has worn out then the other side is probably also due for renewal. They only take a few minutes to replace and a ring spanner and torx bit or allen key is needed to undo them. The torx bit/allen key is used in the end of the threaded part and stops the joint rotating as the nut (45 Nm) is undone.
