Wishbone is a b***h on the 206. Two man job so you can pull the old one out of the hub and put the new one in.

Thanks folks.
Looks like i'll be ing a wishbone and ball joint.
I'd like to fit it myself as i'm not to bad on the spanners. However, i'm told i'd need a specific tool. Is that the case?
Not sure what this person meant. Could just be a "splitter", which i already have? |
Nah you can fit the bottom arm yourself, the ball joint is a bit awkward to do but you're better off using a big lever bar to push the arm down than a ball joint splitter to be honest. Other than that is just your basic french car tools lol. Make sure you've got a big enough socket for the hub nut...on mine its a 34mm not 100% if yours is the same.

Some are easy some are a b***h. Drivers side is easier than near side due to differences in the drive shafts.
