Hello, I'm replacing N/S wishbone as its balljoint gater got ripped (MOT due) Found a replacement from a broken "2004 2.0 GTi", meanwhile mine's "2000 2.0 HDi". Is it OK to go ahead and have to different wishbones? Cheers,

It's just not worth fitting second hand wishbones but yes all wishbones fit all 206 models. Only difference is Sports range cars use a metal bush instead of a rubber bush in the wishbones.

£67 for a decent branded new wishbone from Euro Car Parts. Mad to not buy a new one.

I've got some slightly used toilet roll here if you want to buy that too. It's still got a good few wipes on it. It's Andrex Touch of Luxury with Shea Butter. Retails new at 56p a roll, I'll do it to you for 20p.

Personally i always replace in pairs, ie drop links, shocks, top mounts, wishbones etc but i realise your average person is not too fussed and wants it done as cheap as possible. That said, as mentioned above, you can buy a decent brand new one for around 60-70 quid. It will cost you a lot more than that if your second hand one fails!

To save a lot of work with care you could just remove the spring clips holding the rubber cover on the ball joint and switch them over. Clean out your old ball joint, re-grease with black moly grease and fit the new cover. I think Peugeot even list the boot as a separate part.

Me? I would buy a complete arm or pair from here. Klarius is in fact QH. In 35 years I have never had a problem with QH parts.

www.buypartsby.co.uk/b...trol-arms/

£37.44 each so good price to.

Second hand arms with any play or wear in your ball joint and the money you save is quickly lost in excessive tyre wear - don't do it.

Finally after the arms are fitted you will need the tracking checked.

Thanks for insightful replies Rubber cover got split in a local garage by a rookie mechanic. I noticed it when it was too late to blame. Surely want to done this cheap, because the joint itself is not worn (apart from driving with split gater) and it's a waste to replace good O/S wishbone too yet. Will look for rubber housing for balljoint if i get lucky to find it sold separately Cheers

You'll also need clips for those boots. Good luck with these though, i'd also check the inside bushs.

"All our kits are supplied with the appropriate number of steel clips as fitted to many vehicles from new." Or you meant some other ones?

Those clips are a pain to put in place.

Yes they can be. Quite easy to tear the new boot if you aren't careful.
