| hi mate, when you get your arms done make sure they fit the right ones. I've just changed mine after I took my coil overs off I went to get the car tracked and I was told I had 1 degree of positive camber which is not good, the car felt like it was fighting to stay on the road. I then found out that there are 2 different types of wishbone and mine had the expensive ones . I paid £82 for the pair which is almost twice the price of the other ones. I don't know what year they changed them on but mine's an 04 plate. |
wounded !

I thought the arms are all the same size, my understanding was
that they came with different bushes.
Like the gti arms come with better bushes in as standard

Thanks mate,
That's interesting to know. Well the arms are done and the pug passed the mot but he changed the rear bearing on the drivers side.
The advisories are as follows;
Petrol tank strap corroded
Offside front cool spring corroded
Near side front cool spring corroded
Near side rear tyre close to limit.
When I picked up the car I asked for a quote on all the advisory work and he quoted me around £280?
Good? Bad?
I can buy the new tyre else where for £13 cheaper than his price for on, so that's no worries. We regardes to the work that need doing I'll do it in steps and see if anything else pops up.
Interesting to know about the different type of arms, I'll find out if they are the correct ones when I get the tracking done I suppose

my car had the same issue with the fuel tank strap, got it from my local Peugeot dealer but I cant remember how much it cost, i'll have a look at my pile receipt's when I
can find em, the misses puts everything away. If your going to have too change your springs I'd change the top mounts too, best £55 I've spent on mine yet.

TBF that isn't a bad quote,
Tank strap is pretty standard on a 206, they all rust unless treated.
Tyre, meh just a tyre - depends on what brand they were offering that could reflect on the price
The offside and nearside springs are what will bump the price up. Time/Labour and possibility of knackard droplinks/top mounts

Don't seem to bad a price really but like others have said my top mounts looked and sounded fine but fell apart when I fitted new springs so if it were me I'd change them anyway along with drop links because they are cheap then forget about it all for a long time

Yeah that would be grand if you do find out the price.
So for the mounts aswell we'd be looking at £330 or so?
I've already changed the drop links 2 weeks age. Best part I'be change on a car, as the knocking was very irritating.
I've got a quote for tracking and it seems a standard prive of £30 for 90% of garages,so I'll get that done this weekend before it wears the tyres.
