Its the motaquip ones I believe, as they are PSA's parts company so as close to OEM as one can get.

[SurGie 54]

Great, where are they available from ?

 

What are the FAI ones like ?

 

Cheers

Speak to Miles mate he can get them, would avoid other brands. Some have sh!t BJ's and the other have crap bushes.

 

Motaquip is what your after.

[SurGie 54]

Ok great, i will avoid other makes and will pm Miles in due coarse, when my conversion gets ready for them.

 

Cheers chaps.

I didn't think it was possible to buy new 309 bones now? Unless they have made a new batch?

You could be right, my mate just bought some 1.9 gti wishbones off Miles so assumed he'd do both.

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

I think so as I got asked when I ordered the 205 ones

[SurGie 54]

Little confused now

 

So are the Motaquip 309 bones available or will they be in the near future, or are they a total no go ?

 

Also, are the O/S ones still available from Peugeot ?

 

Im not keen on having to buy those race expensive rose jointed extend able ones, forgot the name of them.

OE ones are the best, but silly money. Could buy a set of used ones and replace the bushes with new Pug ones.

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

If you call me tomorrow and I can find out within a few minutes,

I know the 205 wishbones are over £250.00 from Pug each, All they do is rebag the Motaquip ones so it's a expensive bag

This is the best move IMHO, it's what i did. also replaced the ball joint boot which was damaged as well.

I would think there available as there all over the fleebay with any manufacturer mentioned , GSF also advertise them , that said i havent called any of them to check availability.

 

Dont rule out the adjustable items , there are a few options out there as motorsport companies are making them now from the standard looking arm ....Not so the super expensive item to ..

sorry to be a bit off topic, but if the BJ is quite loose to move by hand, i take it that they are buggered????

If its loose they are either past the best & on the way or already dead.

 

When they are truely dead you can feel the play in the balljoint by hand.

[welshpug 1,655]

depends how loose, like Graham said if there's any play they're dead, just loose may just be broken down grease especially if a boot has split, re-pack them and see how you get on.

[pugman211 0]

well, the ones that are on the car (which has been off the road for years so not bothered about them) moveing the BJ is like the joystick on my xbox!! lol

[SurGie 54]

I forgot about this thread.

 

Getting some adjustable ones from Miles sounds good to me and your BJ sounds knackered.

 

Miles, will you be supplying these any time soon ?
