It's not like the car will immediately be damaged by this, but the suspension components in general may be overstressed when driving the car for long in highest setting.
I'd say the car must have been a nuisance - and rather dangerous - to drive, as it gets rock solid like a truck.

Hi,what damage can be caused by driving a Xantia at its highest setting?? I say this as one time when it was in garage the mechanics father delivered the car back to me and was bouncing everywhere,due to the fact he had it in the highest ride position and drove for several miles like that!!!!!!!!

I found that as tight as you can go with out going mental on a long bar is about right, if you don't have a torque wrench. This based on 17 stone fatty with deep deep deep pockets. Never had any probelms.

Does anyone know what the torque should be on the rear hub,as i've just fitted new brake shoes,i've had lots of problems,but i've sussed it now,only problem being i have no manual to tell me what the torque should be. Thanks in advance!

Think it may be held in by just the usual way. Or if any thing only a couple of screws. I'm lead to belive thoe that on some of the newer (now older) AX's you have to remove the ends of the unit to reveal the fixings.

Does it stop if you press the brake lightly? (I am thinking of brake pads squealing)

Clutch release / pressure bearing. My old Zx had this noise and it lasted for 152K no problems. If you want it changing then best to have the whole clutch changed as well in one go.

My guess would be that you need to replace the centre, anti-sink sphere. You can do that independantly of the rear wheel spheres. If you decide to change it, undo the pipe union at the back of the sphere, before spinning off the sphere itself. Fail to undo the pipe union first, and you'll end up sheering the hydraulic pipe. Presumably you've read...

Are the cams themselves undamaged? camprofiles are carefully calculated to reduce acceleration of the cam / valve contact and to allow quiet running. Only a small amount of wear will change this and cause tapping. It may be possible to pinpoint the problem using a rod held to your ear.
