Re: Citroen C5 X7 09 Suspension Strut
If it's the strut, then no, it will need a complete new replacement as unlike the previous models which could be repaired or the seals could be replaced, these new types are bonded rubber to metal and once they leak, that's it really. Just make sure you determine it is from the strut. I just had the driver side one replaced a few months back.
Item 1 below: They are different parts numbers for left and right struts -
5271K5 or replacement part 5271L5 for the Left hand side (Passenger)
5271K6 or replacement part 5271L6 for the Right hand side (Driver)
Use wither number when searching. You can source some from Poland that are about £100-140 cheaper than the main dealer. Dealer will charge approximately £186 inc. VAT to fit only, plus any LHM fluid they need to replace (at about £15+ a litre) - but I would also source this elsewhere as it can be bought for less.
Stick to either of the part numbers as they are different depending on variant.
