crws Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 I've just recently overhauled the suspension which in itself should of been an easy job if it was not for the fact that the owner of the xantia before me thought it might be nice not to use rubber washers, hence the spehere's had seized solid as they were metal on metal, but less of my winging. The suspension is now a lot better than it was, however the back end still does not seem very cushioned if anything still a little rough, could this be air that has been introduced by the fact i have taken the sphere's off and put new ones in.. Bear in mind when i say overhauled i mean i have replaced 4 suspension sphere's along with 1 anti sink and an accumulator. Quote
DickieG Posted December 13, 2004 Posted December 13, 2004 Whenever replacing spheres, make sure you 'raise/lower' the suspension several times, allowing time for the car to get to its maximum height and lowest point. This is necessary (particularly on later models with anti-sink) in order to expel any air in the system which causes symptoms such as a hard ride. Quote
paul2309 Posted March 31, 2005 Posted March 31, 2005 On a similar vein. My xantia has started sinking at the rear with a whistling sound when I stop the engine. Can anybody tell me where the "anti sink valve/device" is? Quote
