Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / March 2006405td suspension bushes
Hi, Dealer wants 895+vat for sorting out the following: worn osf and nsf lower arm bush play in osf lower swivel worn anti-roll bar bushes split os driveshaft gaitor. Seems very expensive so I'm wondering if anyone can recommend an independent garage in the East London/Essex area. Also, of the above, are some of these things easy to do in the street oneself? Or do they require specialist tools? I've replaced the alternator, radiator and calipers but that's about the limit of my ability on this car. I was thinking maybe I could tackle some things myself and leave anything specialist to a garage. Ta Darren Try and do it your self but take your time doing it , you should get it all done in a day. i have done them on many pugs and like i say take your time. from Chris Addlestone Surrey > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Darren Thanks Chris. Okay, does any of this require unusual tools?

The parts you need will come to well under £100. Have a look at www.parts4peugeot.com, or www.gsfcarparts.com to check prices. Both will stock all the bits you need. Read the manual first, as this will tell you about any other tools you might need. The swivel joint is screwed into the lower wishbone from memory, and you will need either a C spanner, or hammer and blunt chisel to unscrew it. £900 + VAT? More than the car is worth almost, rediculous. Be very careful though, remember that all these parts if fitted badly, can make the car dangerous. You might also need to check the front wheel alignment afterwards. <SNIP> >> I was thinking maybe I could tackle some things myself and leave >> anything specialist to a garage.

You're right, the car cost less than that and it seemed a shame to scrap it. I'll give it a go myself in a few weeks when it's a bit warmer. How dangerous is the car with these things worn? Can I drive it for a few weeks? |
