danpug 1 Posted December 10, 2007 I expect miles on here can sort you out with a rebuild kit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 245 3 Cars Posted December 11, 2007 If your beam has seized solid you'll be best to either source a refurbished one (possibly through here). Seized usually means beyond refurbishing without a new centre tube & radius arm shafts. You can rebuild yours with genuine Pug bearings & seals etc which will cost you approx £75 plus any radius arm shafts etc you might need which you might be able to source from a scrapyard if they'll let you knock some beams apart to check the condition first or from GSF. I've got all the bits to refurbish a beam here but no 1.9 GTi stub axles & caliper mounting brackets. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Parts to recon your axle will be dependent on how bad it is when you strip it & also what your local scrapyard charges for any bits you can use from a scrap 205 if you can find one that has a usable beam or centre tube. New parts from Peugeot for the bearings & seals is approx £65-70 but if you need the torsion bar studs add a bit extra on top. It'll be £80 max for all the small parts from peugeot but the radius arm shafts are £40+vat each from GSf. You need to find use of a hydraulic press to get the old ones out & new ones pressed in. A reconditoned beam will depend on where you go for it, www.205parts.com offer a refurbing service but I'mnot sure what they charge now, iirc its £300 but I might be wrong. I charge £250 exchange if your beam is servicable & £300 outright for a reconditioned one but I'd need the stub axles & brake plates from your beam to fit into the radius arms i have downstairs. For a bit extra (cost of me getting them) I can fit the beam with ZX radius arms but I'd still need your rear brake bits. I've attached a pictue with the numbers of the bits you need to order from Peugeot but you don't need everything from that picture & some of the bits aren't on there which you usually need. The torsion bars stud (5153 10), offset washer (5153 12) & torx screw for the offset washer (5153 11). Graham. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
