#1: MOT failed - rear trailing arm Author: mart1n206, Posted: Tue Mar 24, 2015 5:36 pm ---- My 10 year old 206 failed MOT with "Offside rear trailing arm has excessive play in a pin/bearing". Agreed to have a new axle fitted. Have i chucked away good money?
#2: Re: MOT failed - rear trailing arm Author: jamie-38-206, Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2015 1:24 am ---- Did you get a recon axle or brand new one? My 54 plate failed MOT for rear axle last october among other things. Got a recon Axle with 2 year warranty for £200 plus £100 to fit.
#3: Re: MOT failed - rear trailing arm Author: mart1n206, Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2015 4:17 pm ---- Brand new (so I was told) cost me £250 and £260 to investigate and fit - the dealer's hourly rate is high (used to be £70/hr. so most likely more now).
My concern is that it might not have needed a new axle but could have done with a lesser repair.

By the time play is noticed in the trailing arms generally the pins are badly worn and are beyond repair anyway.
