Guest Colin Hunter Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 This is a common high mileage problem with the ZX. They're about £35 each from Citroen dealers. If they're decent like my local lot they'll have genuine and aftermarket parts on offer. Changing them is not for an amateur but any competent DIYer should manage it in 2 or 3 hours depending on how seized the nuts are! You need a pit or a lift it would be VERY difficult using ramps or jacks. It's the front subframe mounts that rattle but I am informed that they are NOT an MOT fail point. Hope this helps. Quote
