Hi!

I'm about to order some parts for my 2.2 HDi frontsuspension/linkage-overhauling project and wanted to change what ever needed in the rear to. I tried to find some posts about what normally would be the typical wear out at the rear, like bushings. Did just end up finding really useful pdfs about how to, no "wich one to"

Anyone here who can tell what will be the most likely wear? I've tried to look for play but it wasn't actually that easy to see.

Greetings from Sweden and thanks in advance

I have changed some of the bushings. And I know some sell replacements in polyurethane , probably for a reason.... Link rods are often changed. Quite cheap parts, so I would go for changing many parts. Do not forget to check/change suspension spheres. The multilink systen at the rear are quite complicated and nervous, compared to older Citroen solutions (simple trailing arms with one bearing that usually lasted the cars lifetime on DS, but not on CX)
