check the cv joints for lack of grease aswell as checking the gearbox oil level and wouldnt hurt renewing it too.

Any idea of cost from Peugeot? GSF ones fitted previously (not the cheapest ones they offered either). Discounts available??

It sounds v much like wishbones. The aftermarket ones are poor and the bushes break very quickly. I have heard of them going in less than a week in some cases. Its just your luck if you get a good set

i wouldn't pay £100 each for them though i must admit, i bought two off fleebay for £40 posted, i'd hope for the best. big risk i guess though, at least if pug ones fail you can return them. well i guess you can, i would hope so for that price

without sounding too dumb, what exactly should I be looking for (bearing in mind I dont have ramps - but a trolley jack & axle stands)?
Splits in rubber joints? out of position mounts?

Well, mine had an MOT and i specifically stated for them to go over with a fine tooth comb
They did, and found that the bottom arms had no play, same with anyother suspension areas
