Hi there, I'm sure they are the same part as on the GS/GSA and to replace them you need to remove the rear suspension struts.
Not absolutely certain where to get them but you could contact Citroen.
Anyone else know?

Well actually no, no need to remove the cylinder but you will need new clips along with the new rubber boots.
It's also worth spending 10mins getting some WD40 or diesel on those pesky R clips that hold the push rod into the bottom of the swing arm. If they are rusted and break off during removal you're in for some grief.

They think it's all over, it is now!

Sorry my mistake - I've had such trouble with the clips etc in the past that I tended to remove the whole thing to give it some 'on the bench' action..
Actually the first time I had a face full of LHM was removing a BX rear strut... O he memories!

Re: re renewing rear suspension rubber boots
You mean they don't have them in stock ? Ask them to order this number : 95 577 323. They are still available, in principle. You should get them within a couple of days, 15,33 euros each.nogbad wrote:cant find any in France at three of my local citroen garages
