Pug 306 1.9 td questions

alferret · 07-02-2010, 16:40

Picked myself up one of these, 98 Phase II.
I have a creaky back end and I have been informed that I need to replace the trailing arm\axel assembly as a whole unit and that bushes\shocks\springs cant be replaced.

Am I being spun a yarn or do have to replace the whole unit (bearings are good\camber is OK)

TIA

Not sure if the rear suspension is similar to the 406, but mine was shot after 65k miles. I believe this was due to the guy I bought it off having speed humps on his street. (One owner car)

My MOT garage mentioned it each year and I always asked them how much for them to fix it, they always sucked their breath and wrote out the MOT certificate. I under stood that for the 406 it was complete arms and it required specialist equipment to set them up after replacement.

I remember looking on GSF and Europe Car Parts for the bushes and there were none listed. It may be worth a look there to see if there are any such bushes listed for the 306

ps I can only see Anti Roll Bar bushes and Subframe mounting bushes on Euro Car Parts

You should get yourself over to www.club-306.com. It costs £6 for a years registration but that £6 has saved me so much money with little problems I've had with my 306 XLdt so it has been well worth it.

Sorry to hear that. On my old 305 I had the bushes alone replaced when the rear suspension developed a rattle. I guess this is the natural course of "design improvement" and "modularisation".
