Freshened Up Rear On Mi16x4

It's amazing what a fresh sphere and new LHM does to freshen up the x4. Over time your acceptance of what's good diminishes as the fluid deteriorates and the sphere pressure drops. If you haven't done it for a while I highly recommend it. It's not a hard job and no special tools are really needed. Just a bit of care and time.

I miss my x4 as a road car a lot sometimes. When I read things like this it reminds me of just how good it was in it's standard form. I think I will have to own another standard road car Mi16x4 one day, maybe sooner rather than later to save another from the scrap heap.

 

I changed the sphere and fluid on mine not long before I took it off the road, you are right it is an easy job and it made the back end a lot more controlled, way less bouncy and it cornered on rails afterwards.

Both Alex and I have the 4bie workshop manual supplement if you need it.

Where is the best place to get a new sphere? How much are they?

You can ask from Citroën specialists. Sphere is same in BX 4x4. Alternatively you can get the old one refilled with nitrogen.

I found both of the rear mounts on the car are completely shot, and the mechanic who did the checking told me they were no longer available. Do you have a part number/supplier for both a Right and Left hand mount?

 

Thanks!
