I have ordered four sets of front suspension struts for my Citroen C3 sx 1.6
None have fitted- the base is too narrow in the new struts. They are only 40mm however my mechanic has said they need to be 50mm to fit.
Has anyone got any ideas on this?

Thanks

Hi

Order from Euro Car Parts by reg to get the right ones, but to be fair all the 2002 - 2009 models have the same strut dimensions.
