Zx Volcane Arms V's Xsara Vtr/vts Arms...

[Alastairh 47]

Probably has been covered before, but i couldn't find it in our search.

 

But as the title states, do the Xsara arms have the same benefits as Zx ones?

 

Cheers

Id imagine the Xsara arms are much the same as the 306 ones yes? If so then to a degree they will do much the same, but id imagine they would make the car understeer a reasonable amount due to the toe in combined with the camber. In all honesty id go with the ZX ones or you will find yourself struggling to get it to turn in.

Pretty sure they're same if not very similar to 306 ones yeah.

In my opinion i would imagine all the alter pug a citroen arms to be the same, ok there is different figures in the spec sheets but i bet that is down to when and how they were measured by the manufactures or thrid part companies. I bet if they were tested on the bench, 306, xsara, zx arms would be the same.

Ive heard of people putting vts rear arms on the 306 for neg camber

fraid its only the ZX that has no toe in, strangely the Xsara VTS is totally different in that it runs the most toe in of all the compatible trailing arms, some 1.4mm more than a 205, but the same as a 309 GTi16.

highly amusing, as the 306 already has 1deg/20min camber, exactly the same as the Xsara, but less toe in, so their setups would be more stable at speed but less sharp to turn in.

I might be wrong I think it was 306.net I read that a while ago.

How do you know so much about pugs, etc?

That i can totally believe. Ever put a well spec'd 205 on a reliable 4 wheel laser alignment machine...

 

I will grab them from the scrappy anyway. I already have another set of volcane Zx arms for the next 205 anyway. Just spares

It's getting the beam the same both sides which is the hard part, No matter what arms you have
