Details about : Complete suspension cylinder for 2cvs before 1970 - small diameter - 110mm

This complete suspension cylinder for 2cvs before 1970 small diameter - 110mm is a quality reproduction.

This small undercarriage suspension cylinder is a crucial element in the highly distinctive suspension system on 2cv cars and derivatives. With a diameter of 110 mm, it fits 2cv and Dyane saloon cars as well as Meharis. The heavier vans and AMI 6 and 8 cars have suspension cylinders with a larger diameter.

This complete suspension cylinder is equipped with its own tie rods, the short tie rod towards the front and the long tie rod towards the rear, its own adjustment rings and threaded pipes, as well as boots and tie rod ends that connect it to the front and rear suspension arms.

Maintenance tip:
- Adjust the vehicle's travel and trim with specific tools. Use a 46 spanner for adjusting the hexagonal nuts on the threaded pipes and a hex socket for adjusting the tie rod ends.
- You need to lubricate it properly for the suspension cylinder to work properly. Choose an oil instead of a grease that is too thick. The inner springs will tend to push thick grease to the ends of the cylinder causing a very unpleasant squeaking sound.
- carefully fitting a grease nipple onto the upper external quarter of the suspension housing makes it easier for you to regularly grease this suspension cylinder internally.
