Galifrey 1 Posted December 28, 2009 I have searched through and iv not found any information regarding which ones are the best qualityand which ones are best to avoid for various reasons ? Cheers.. Its the motaquip ones I believe, as they are PSA's parts company so as close to OEM as one can get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted December 28, 2009 Great, where are they available from ? What are the FAI ones like ? Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted December 28, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted December 28, 2009 Ok great, i will avoid other makes and will pm Miles in due coarse, when my conversion gets ready for them. Cheers chaps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimistdt 1 Posted December 28, 2009 I didn't think it was possible to buy new 309 bones now? Unless they have made a new batch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted December 28, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 28, 2009 I think so as I got asked when I ordered the 205 ones Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted December 28, 2009 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.

Baz 421 Posted December 28, 2009 OE ones are the best, but silly money. Could buy a set of used ones and replace the bushes with new Pug ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 28, 2009 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shalmaneser 26 Posted December 28, 2009 OE ones are the best, but silly money. Could buy a set of used ones and replace the bushes with new Pug ones. This is the best move IMHO, it's what i did. also replaced the ball joint boot which was damaged as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pugman211 0 Posted December 31, 2009 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???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 243 3 Cars Posted December 31, 2009 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. Graham.

welshpug 1,645 Posted December 31, 2009 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pugman211 0 Posted December 31, 2009 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurGie 54 Posted February 5, 2010 (edited) 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 ? Edited February 5, 2010 by SurGie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
