That's interesting Dave, you have inertia dampers AND telescopic shock absorbers. I'm guessing it has friction dampers too.

My Ami has the same setup, but no friction dampers, as they dont fit with the telescopic shock absorbers.

Theis setup give a really smooth and comfortable drive 8-)

Ah. I have inertia dampers fitted to the front suspension of my 2CV and when first fitted I noticed a big improvement in comfort and handling. I've since wanted to fit a pair to the rear arms too.

i don,t know how much but it might be difficult if they hav the oval bits attached
also the chrome might flake off when you apply a spanner to tightnen them

Yes,true,there is that possibility,but my thinking was,you can buy chromed wheel nuts,and it doesnt come off them.Yes,they have the oval washers on them,and they are the fully enclosed type.
