Subject: Spheres with less damping?
Today I visited my citroen dealer. He showed me a sphere that is used for the current
Xm-production.There are no damper holes!Probably the holes are covered by a metal-plate which
seems not to be removable.
Did citroen change the spheres so that nobody can modify the damper holes anymore?
Greetings,

*** No Harald,
but you mixing up damper holes and the center hole. The hole in the center works like a by-pass;
undamped hydraulic fluid flows freely through this hole. Large center hole; less damping. Small hole;
more damping. While the rest of the fluid will be damped, going through the holes that are covered with
metal plates. Actually these metal plates are called valves. The hydraulic fluid has to push them away in
order to pass. Thick valves; a lot of damping. Thin valves; less damping.
