Recommended Posts

Autofive want £56 a side or something silly. Any ideas where the best place is to get them ?

GSF do them: http://www.gsfcarparts.com/

 

Though I don't think they are listed under 205... if you do a search on here for a part number or something there was a thead going back a couple of years... was about £7 a side I remember...

The GSF "kit" to the best of my knowledge equates to nothing more than a bearing and a rubber (and not the complete kit), and is hence completely overpriced.

 

I think you're thinking of the top mount bearings that GSF sell, which are listed under ZX and Berlingo.

 

Could be worth trying Peugeot or Neat prehaps? I know that the kits Autofive sell arrive in sealed Peugeot packaging, so they're definately Peugeot OE Parts that a dealer should be able to supply.

I bought the GSF kit and it arrived in a little bilstein box. Inside was a bearing, rubber ring and a nut. Hmm The rubber ring was very soft so I ended up buying a new pair from bakers bushes. So not worth the money for the GSF kit.

 

I'd do as Anthony says and just buy the Berlingo bearing.

When i asked for top mounts advertised on GSF they ended up getting me these. Which i never brought, i then went to peugeot and asked for a top mount kit and received the rubbers pictured. It wasn't untill i got the parts CD so i could go in with a part No. i got this. I think it was about £50 each, i ordeded two at the time and it took about 3 months to get that one. I lost the receipt and never got the other one :wacko:.

As said, all you need is the bearing and the rubber really.

 

I'd get the bearings from gsf or that (they're £6 each or so?) and some group N rubbers from SBC for a tenner each or so.

I'd get them from http://www.BakerBM.com(stew205 on here).

 

Just the bearing from gsf= N45710 STRUT TOP BEARING ZX + PAS STRUT TOP BEARING 7.25.

I wanted to fit new bearings, they sound a bit ropey, and if it only costs me £14 for both then it seems silly not too, I won't paint the top mounts this time tho, it all peals off !!!

I paid 64 quid for both sides, full assembly everything there, from Peugeot a while back (for the old car actually, so probably 3 1/2 - 4 years, eek!)

I bought the full kit -both sides- from peugeot last year after buying konis (wanted nice shiny top mounts to go with the fresh paint under the bonnet) but even £64 sounds a bit on the expensive side, i reckoned they came in at around £28 per side. Just can't be sure but ill look out the receipt and be sure.
