Isn't the whole point of the car it's funky suspension? If something more conventional is desired just get a beetle lol

Of course. As I said in the video, I love it too. I'm currently on a trip across Australia in my 2CV, the suspension works perfectly on rough roads.

I've been driving 2CV/Dyanes for over 50 years, covering over 350,000miles ....I've never had any trouble with the suspension on any of my cars. Injecting a little vegetable/cooking oil into the pots every 12 months keeps everything supple & free moving {and of course, greasing the "knife edge" joints} And TBH, having also owned a Citroen BX {with the hydraulic suspension} I am firmly of the opinion that a well set up 2CV suspension is superior.

Thanks for sharing that Information. Maybe Austrian dirt roads are particularly hard on the suspension pots. I don't know the history of mine and what made them seizing up.

The rubber pad can get stuck firmly, i.e. copper grease also around the pipe

In the 70s and 80s you got water in the suspension in winter it froze. A little hole in the suspensioncanister and oil and just turn a round . Suspension was not replaced.

What You here says are the way to do it. In my comments earlier here I forgot to say that this is what I do on my 2 cv’s.

Vor 4 Tagen habe ich auch das selbe Paket von burton bekommen. Höhe muss ich noch einstellen, die 4 Gummis sind beim demontieren kaputt gegangen. 2 haben an den falten schon Risse bekommen. Die Mountainbike Schlauch Idee ist echt genial. Werde ich auch machen.

Freut mich. Am besten extra dicke Schläuche neu kaufen. Ich hatte gebrauchte normale genommen und nach 10T Kilometern hatte einer schon ein Loch.

Sadly virtually all of the chat was inaudible. Voice over would have been fine. Do Burton supply the units pre oiled? I'd probably have added a bit extra. Enjoy your trip. Drive safe.
@2CVCult-zl8eo8 ай бұрын
The Burton suspension comes well-oiled. I was thinking about adding oil but decided against it because the Burton instructions don't include oiling. I have travelled some 5k on them since and it's all still very smooth.

Is it good to oil the Teflon liner? Yes, oil prevents wear and rust, but oil and Teflon?
@delukxy3 ай бұрын
@@derfacecrafter1869 I've not heard of Teflon liners. Millions of cars are running with nothing other than caster oil or similar.

You may not generalise your own issue to all "deux chevaux"... Thank you.

Come with your american barge and cross the Tanami desert from Alice Spring to Halls creek, fully loaded. Then you can talk, drongo !

You couldn't take an old Pontiac or similar car on rough tracks: Suspension travel is too short, ground clearance lacking. That's where those cars are rubbish (and modern cars are even worse). A 2CV is much better here. I am currently on a trip across Australia in mine and it takes the outback tracks perfectly. And with the bike tubes fitted the dirt should stay out of the suspension cylinders too.

what kind of roads do You drive on? I have had 2cv for many years and many km, but had no problem with the springboxes.

I believe it's the fine red dust on Australian dirt roads, of which there are many here. It creeps into everything and stays there.

where is the AV marking located ( front ) ? Tks

It was stamped on the round metal end cap (cover), which is at the end of the cylinder.
