Hello everybody As from tuesday we will be the proud owners of a blue 1997 Citroen ZX 16v with the 167hp engine. The car is completely original, with only 133000 kms and full service history. No pics yet....  but soon to follow !Hopefully it matches our darling ST in terms of driving and fun! greetz |

still no pics....  We are rebuilding parts of our house, so I haven't had time to wash the car properly and as a result haven't got any pics yet But I've driven it several times now, and the first things that comes to mind are : * In comparison to our ST (not completely standard), it is just a bit slower. There is a little bit less torque in the low revs, but once you get to the high revs....  * It is much more comfortable than the same ST, on belgian roads a joy !! * Clutch and steering are a bit heavier, but not better, not worse, just a little bit less direct, more relaxed. A possible problem is, when I take a long corner to the right at high(er) speed, I hear a bit of a noise somewhere on the back wheels ??? Overall, For a 13y old car it drives superb, I would have expected it a bit faster.... but less good. Now it s time to get to know the car better, so that I can shake her ass

What size are the wheels(J value) ? The sound you are hearing could be the tyre touching the body and that could be a indication that there is something wrong with the rear axle bearings. |

as you can see, those are standard sized alloys, so the problem doesn't come from the wheels themselves. I guess it's a problem with - and now a Belgian word - het roulement |

Roulement? Isn't that in ducth wheel bearing(wiel lager)? Wheel bearings aren't a common failure...Can you take a picture taken from the rear? So that you can see the wheel camber (wielvlucht). |
