Forum,

 

Both front struts popped and damaged the bonnet whilst driven in Zambia and Botswana.

 

I replaced the moulded rubber with rubber taper discs, and the car is running fine. At close inspection, both struts (Mc Phearson) shafts got bent, and LHM oil is leaking past, casing the car to go down when idling. It also takes longer to lift.

 

Where can I buy the struts? Ship it to Zambia / South Africa?

 

Please help

Hi Fred

 

Unfortunatly the strut tops are starting to go on a lot of Xantia recently and at the moment (in the UK at least) it appears to be a dealer only part.

Sorry I could be of more help.
