j_turnell 137 3 Cars Posted April 12, 2006 Mates 106 has failed its mot on its beam being seized on the drivers side. How similar is it to a 205 beam?? can change those in my sleep, but not attempted a 106 beam, any major differences, it has drum brakes so obv cables and lines etc. Any help/ advice will be greatly appreciated. cheers, James Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonmurgie 2 Posted April 12, 2006 Fits and functions essentially the same as the 205 so you should have no trouble doing it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anthony 1,003 Posted April 13, 2006 Fits and functions essentially the same as the 205 so you should have no trouble doing it 106 beam is actually the same design as the 206 and 405 beams, and hence mounts differently to 205/306/309 beams. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest smokinslim Posted April 16, 2006 How does the 106 beam tube compare in size/design to the 205 one? I know that the mounts are different but what about the tube itself? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Completely different. 205 tube is hollow with the bearings inside and the shaft pressed into the trailing arm, whereas on a 106 beam the tube has the shafts pressed in and the bearings run inside the trailing arms.
