Post Suspension Revelation.
So... after some 4-5 years of owning and fidling with my 2CV I decided to check/adjust the suspension. The car was with new shocks and no suspension complains.
When I came to the adjustable end-pieces, either way of the pot, I found them 2-3 mm tighter than recommented, so they were adjusted the Haynes way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imagine my surprise when I test drive the car!!!

It became soft and supple and comfy as a true citroen should be.
Now I drive over bumps and holes and I hardly feel them.
Also the front-back oscillation was reduced together with the sudden "crashing" and the rear "bottoming".
