Suspension Again... I´m Desperate

[laranja2003]

Hi there, i´m luciano from brazil

citroen c5 2.0 gasoline 2002 100.000 km

my problem started with a creaky noise (mettalic) without any loose part. then the rear suspension locked at the highest position and the front at the lowest. i´ve changed the pump already and the front is normal, but the rear is at the lowest position now, with no response.

i would like to know if anyone has some good idea to help.

 

i am really desperate.

Bom dia Luciano.

 

You should start by checking the height sensor or height corrector which should be attached to the rear anti roll bar. Sometimes these can stick, I'm told. There is another message on the other C5 forum on Yahoo about how to free these up if they have stuck.

 

The only other issue for you that I can think of is if you have a problem with the swinging arm bearings, on older Citroens (BX for example) these used to fail by making a creaking noise. Maybe you need to see if these have failed, and the arms are seized on the bearings.

 

With the anti sink fitted to Xantias/XMs and from there on I think the height correctors are more likely to seize as they do not get the workout or movement they used to with BXs.
