Anyone got an idea of price, can u get just the ball joint or do u need to get the whole bottom arm? could phone peugeot but its more interesting asking here tar(ts).

 

I've got a peugeot parts disc at home so i can find out for you, i think you have to buy the complete wishbone though.

 

that would be good mate thanks if whole wishbone i reckon roughly Ł40?

 

Think it's whole arm and i very much doubt it will be as cheap as that from a dealer.

 

What ever part you need get it from German, Swedish & French - dirt cheap for anything Pug!!

 

glad it aint me buying it then lol, what about from a motor factors or summit

 

Lee_R21Turbo, they got a website/ online parts list?

 

From motor factors then i would imagine about that yes. I remember genuine arms for something or other when i worked at peugeot were around Ł90+vat

 

As above whole arm will be needed. If its of any use i've heard bas things about the German Sweedish and French ones on the 205 website... Apparently they don't last long.

 

mad aint it, need to be a motor factors bit then for her lol

hmm, nae good, thanks for the info tho mate Ł90+ tho need to be a motor factors one, hopefuly last longer than germ, swede frog stuff?

 

Have a search around the 206 websites, they might be ok, might not be I guess. THats the problem with non gen stuff!

 

Here mate - http://www.gsfcarparts.com/

I've heard that ball joints generally dont last long on Pugs anyway - especially if the car has been lowered - 10-20k miles tops!!!

HTH

 

aah well hers sits on its ass might explain it !! cheeRS i'll give the website a look thanks boys.

 

only price control arms, assuming their TCAs? @Ł32

 

Try phoning em mate - usually very helpful - most local motor factors should stock them too!!

 

There different part numbers depending on ur model, my 206 has been lowered for just under 20,000 miles and no probs as yet [EDIT] WITH THE WISHBONES THAT IS [/EDIT] drop links are VERY COMMEN though, im on my 2nd pair in 9 months

What model 206 and year is your car????

 

its a mates car, and its a 51 or 52 plate GTI (not the 180), front suspension it is, sum1 said ball joint needs doin ive not saw it yet personally.

 

Droplinks are VERY common indeed - bought my Pug306TD...lowered it - two weeks later it needed a droplink on the nearside - changed em both to be on safe side - Ł8+VAT ea - GSF!

 

drop links, they on frnt or back?

 

On the front, between the suspension strut and the anti roll bar

Dont get the gsf ones, there shite

Get proper Pug ones, about 14quid each from Pug

 

chances r these will need done too then?

 

Chances are its ONLY the drop links that need changing???

Whats the sypmtops of his problems???

Knocking noise from the front on bumps and steering???? Sounds like the cars about to fall apart and it drives 100% as normal???

If u grab the wheel and shake ot HARD are there any funny knocking noises????

 

well as i said i aint saw it and its a female she said it dont feel right and knocks when goin over bumps so i thought bottom arm someone said (mechanic i think) it was on its way out, but dunno if it was a wannabe mechanic or nae lol said bout Ł40 for parts jus to let her know roughly she was a bit relieved lol

 

I'd bet money on it just being the drop links, there 30quid for a pair from Pug and about a hours labour to fix.

If that dont solve it i'll eat my hat

 

i'll tell her to get em checked out, cars not near me so lol thanks for all your help amte i'll let u know what happens

 

I second that.....I'll eat mine too it that dont fix it!!!

I automatically assumed mine was bottom ball joint too - changed it & it made absolutely FECK all difference!!! Then I tightened every suspension bolt I could find, snapped a couple in the process Then my mechanic mate had a drive & listen & said straight away 'drop link bars have spat their dummy & are knocking like a twat' - so changed both the drop link bars in approx 1hr....completely different car to drive, no clunks & felt tighter (oooh matron!! )
