Coonper 0 Posted May 9, 2008 The beam on my saxo has collapsed after only 65,000 miles! I can get one from a scrap yard for £175, but i cant fit it. Can anyone on here do them? Or can anyone refurb them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,657 Posted May 9, 2008 There's a fair few members on here that can sort them out for you, Anthony and Pugtorque to name a few IIRC, fitting is quite a lot less involved than rebuilding them however. whatever you do don't buy that beam for £175, a decent price for a second hand unknown beam from a scrappy round here is £40. seeing as you're in Coventry I'd recommend you drop Neal at Des-developments a call, they're only over in Walsall.

Coonper 0 Posted May 9, 2008 Cheers mate! Appreciated! Cant find one for £40 though! The cheapest is £175 out of 3 scrappies! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daza4 24 Posted May 10, 2008 Our local scrappers have rear beams for £50. Sure I saw a saxo there the other day will check next time i am there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rom 0 Posted May 10, 2008 As welsh said...dont buy it. Unless you 100% that its in outstanding condition. Chances are its not. For that kind of money you could rebuild yours, providing it doesnt need shafts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For that kind of money you could rebuild yours, providing it doesnt need shafts. I Just completed taking all my rear suspension apart, if you can get it apart the hard bit is done. I was lucky, the bearings and shafts on mine are perfect so rebuilt with new seals and it'll be good as new. Give it a go!! If the internals are knackered then your no worse off and the refurb guide on the main site is great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
