#2: Re: 180 radius arms Author: Seabook, Posted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 1:59 pm ---- i think is about GBP400-600 parts only (each side)
They are £76.76 each, part numbers 5150 91 and 9150 92

I'd have thought it'd be cheaper than spending £150 on the actual arms?
and to be clear, these are the arms going from the centre to the wheel you can see very clearly under the car from the rear?

#7: Re: 180 radius arms Author: |SGP|, Location: Truro/Falmouth, CornwallPosted: Thu Jun 23, 2011 3:13 pm ---- yeah on the diagram, (if we're looking at the same thing) where 74 and 75 thread together, there's a bush there; on mine it's worn away.
I suppose it only comes with the arm? the robbing b******s!

They have to charge what Peugeot head office tell them to, the dealer is just going by the book.

#13: Re: 180 radius arms Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Fri Jun 24, 2011 9:06 am ---- I've emailed you a guide on how to replace them, and its not two hours is 1.9 hours to be precise.
