It's the lateral arms the blokes asking about, not the trailing arms Wink

Can you get bushes for these? I'm pretty sure mine are worn and causing a clanking noise at the rear.
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?

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!

further to my earlier enquiry about the radius arms,looking under the vehicle there seems to be easy access to release the bolts holding them?is there a technique to replacing them/special tools required?i cant understand why thieving peugeot main dealers charge 2 hours labour and id like to do them myself???? Cool

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