my mate is a pug machanic and he said he has known them to go as quick as a month or two with aftermarket, he laughed at me when i said that i used aftermarket ones.
Joys, thanks for the info mate
But hopefully it wont be them, cant really afford it as i know it will fail with honors

Cheap aftermarket ones are s**te, been there done that.
#21: Re: 206 changing gear + steering = suicide Author: mattievrs, Location: LeicesterPosted: Tue Dec 28, 2010 5:55 pm ---- check the cv joints for lack of grease aswell as checking the gearbox oil level and wouldnt hurt renewing it too.
#22: Re: 206 changing gear + steering = suicide Author: GP-F, Location: FairfordPosted: Tue Dec 28, 2010 6:39 pm ---- Any idea of cost from Peugeot? GSF ones fitted previously (not the cheapest ones they offered either). Discounts available??
#23: Re: 206 changing gear + steering = suicide Author: imjeeves, Location: Glasgow / WellingPosted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 6:34 am ---- 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
#24: Re: 206 changing gear + steering = suicide Author: Seabook, Posted: Wed Dec 29, 2010 6:39 am ---- lemforder wishbone from eurocarparts is good as the one from pug dealer

Genuine Peugeot one's are only slightly more.
Last changed mine back in 2005 / 50k miles ago, fit genuine part's & they last
#27: Re: 206 changing gear + steering = suicide Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Thu Dec 30, 2010 9:52 am ---- 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
#28: Re: 206 changing gear + steering = suicide Author: GP-F, Location: FairfordPosted: Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:09 am ---- 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?
#29: Re: 206 changing gear + steering = suicide Author: mjsroofing, Location: south walesPosted: Thu Dec 30, 2010 10:39 am ---- ok, below is a pic of the wishbone, the rubber joint arrowed is normally twisted badley and cracked etc
hope this helps.
#30: Re: 206 changing gear + steering = suicide Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Thu Dec 30, 2010 2:13 pm ---- 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
