Citroen Xantia Activa - suspension query
Discussion
Just bought one fairly cheep for a run around and so far its great!
I cant believe the amount of equipment in this car for the price, and its only done 51k on a P plate.
When i picked it up the owner commented on the time it takes for the stop light to go out and the rate at which the suspension picks up, takes a good 30 seconds, is this long?
I'm looking to change the suspension spheres shortly as the car has done a little towing at some point so maybe worth me doing.
Also i have noticed the car do a little jig as it settles to its ride height, is this normal? i expected it to rise and fall fairly evenly but the car has ended up at a slight angle on occasions.
When driving though it feels great, handles well and the rest of the brakes and steering feel good, so it doesnt feel like the suspension is up to any tricks while driving.
I also learned a valuable lesson when i picked the car up, never drop the ride height to its lowest setting while driving
Now i just need a boost controller
