Hi Both,

 

Being a newbie C5 owner I was told that 'crashing and banging' on Citroen suspension on bumpy roads is 'normal'???

 

Sounds like there may be fixes? What can be done? I think the front is the main culprit on mine?

 

Regards, Paul...

If i remember right they kind of recalled a lot of cars in that had done under 20.000 miles i think with back axle banging over slight bumps and it turned out that they sort of put the axle on in the wrong place. I am shore the car designer would not agree with this but it was only a matter of millimeters as i recall. Maybe some one with more info on it could tell the story the proper way.
