X7 Rough/fidgety Low Speed/b Road Ride

aj-c525 · May 7, 2017

In fairness I probably know the answer to this already (being it's just the characteristics of the H3+) but I thought I would ask for other peoples experiences and/or if there are things I can actually look at doing to solve/help the situation.

The ride on smooth roads, at 60+mph and on motorways is as you would expect from a Hydro car.

However the B road 30-50 ride on broken surfaces is pretty terrible. The car is on the 19s which I get doesn't help but I still think it should be better. It almost feels as if there is very little wheel control. On some stretches it almost feels like the wheels are 'pattering' across the surface rather than their being any ride control or body support.

I've read that the spheres can go hard which can cause this, and because it has rubber bushings they could be on the way out. The car is on 83k and as far as I know it's had nothing done to the suspension in terms of servicing at all.

Anything else I can do?

It's not something I'm going to do immediately, but over time as i would like to keep the car for a while as I'm really enjoying my first experience of a Hydro Citroen.

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any help!!
