Thanks,the mechanic tells me these and the fibi bilstein are good,they are the most expensive I think,they was quoted from mister-auto £57.78 each,not bad price I thought.

#6: Re: Advice on which bottom wishbones to buy pls Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 12:33 pm ---- Febi, TRW or QHazell should all be good quality.
#7: Re: Advice on which bottom wishbones to buy pls Author: craggles, Location: manchesterPosted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 1:28 pm ---- Thanks,,looking at the febi bilstein on mister-auto and there is 2 types

but some have - From chassis n° 9441 ,, and others - From chassis n° 9440
so need to work out which is which
#8: Re: Advice on which bottom wishbones to buy pls Author: Steve206, Location: UKPosted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 2:11 pm ---- One type will have a metal inner bush, that's for the GTi and hdi models.
#9: Re: Advice on which bottom wishbones to buy pls Author: gazza82, Location: South BucksPosted: Sun Sep 01, 2013 3:00 pm ---- Ring mister-autos in UK and ask them ... I've found them useful and willing to help.
Or ring you local Peugeot dealer and they will check ... ask them for the part nos, give some excuse about checking costs with partner and it will be easier to order with those, and then cross-make these to the febi parts ...
But there is only one arm for the 1.4 ... there isn't a GTI version ... so I don't think it matters ...

Thanks for the replys,will be ringing them in the morning,will ring peugeot first to get the part number and double check before I order,but I think we are going for the febi,,kind of in the middle for pricing..cheers for the help

Peageot say its a different ball joint?
