Got a small knock when low speed turning...never knew it could get that bad!

There's a picture floating about 306GTi6.com of a cheap wishbone where the mount for the P-bush sheared right off

pay twice probably won't help this time
to be fair i am quite surprise about this.
have seen quite a lot of accident damaged 206 and most of the time the wisbone still in one piece but just bent quite badly....

#14: Re: The reason why you shouldn't use a cheap wishbone Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Tue Jun 26, 2012 6:14 pm ---- Cheap or expensive; ignore the clunking and squeaking and any ball joint will do this in the end.
I also notice they are relatively new tyres, I bet they were put on because the play in the joint caused the tyres to wear very prematurely. A new wishbone is cheaper than 1 tyre. In fact, if you fit them yourself, a pair of wishbones is cheaper than 1 tyre!
Some won't agree with that but with my discount I can often get QH wishbones (leading and VERY reputable aftermarket manufacturer) for £28 incl. VAT.
If you live near Swindon I might supply and fit for a reasonable fee.
#15: Re: The reason why you shouldn't use a cheap wishbone Author: hayes_ctfc, Location: CheltenhamPosted: Wed Jun 27, 2012 5:23 am ---- The exact reason that it's lucky I work at a pug dealer, before I went to Plymouth in May, I gave my car a little check on the lunch break and found it needed N/S track rod end, O/S wishbone and two new tyres as front were bald as a result of excessive play in the wishbone and track rod. If I hadn't have driven it into the workshop on my lunch break, I was told if I were to touch 80 on the motorway, this exact thing would have happened.

yes you are right.
i am more to the point of don't ignore any unusual symptom from the car.
and yes you are right, the tyre was new, think he just put it on a week before that happen and after that he need a new tyre as well since one of the tyre was rubdwon to the metal wire bit already

I had a pair of those and they were just as s**t as the eBay specials. Only got them because they were trade price. I requested GTI ones as they are supposed to be steel bushed but they were the same as the the other ones.
When it comes to wishbones genuine Peugeot or nothing.
